Air Filter

Martin · Post by **Martin** » Mon Sep 08, 2003 4:58 pm

Poverty prevents me from getting anything major done to me bike at the mo, so I was wondering: if I change the air filter to a K&N or something, will it make much of a difference on its' own or will it just cause me problems without the dynojet & cans that I can't yet afford? Answers on a postcard please....

Hi Martin

Before going the whole hog on my bike I ran with just a PiperX airfilter and cans without any problems. I dont see any reason why having just a filter will be a problem. Naturally I have no idea what Im talking about so dont be surprised if someone that knows the difference between a Cam Tensioner and a torque wrench comes along in a minute to point out the awful consequences of my suggestion!

Come to think of it Ive got the PiperX air filter in the garage - do you want it? (oo'er!)

Cheers

If you've got a spare one you can part with that'd be great, let us know how much you want for it inc postage. I have the tech know-how and ability of a slug, so is it easy enough to fit?

Martin/Wayne.

I need a standard air filter so if Wayne sends ya his PipeX thing anychance I could have you standard one you take out Martin.

If I can just bung it 1st class or somit or how far are you from Bluewater/Dartford Tunnel etc on the M25.

Del, you can have my standard one no probs. I'm in Crawley, so it's only a short dash round the worlds biggest car park....and it'll be good to put a face to the name.

What junction?

Am flat out at the moment, I have about 200 jobs on the go so it'll be a couple of weeks. Wayne is probably gonna come around the weekend at some point, maybe you could pop round too for a cuppa or ten. If not I'll speak to ya in a few weeks about picking it up. Is it near Chiswick? I'm lost...................

around about J7 I think...down the road from Gatwick airport. I'm flat out as well for the next ten days at least with no sign of a day off. If you suggest a time/date I'll see how we go.

Martin,
I would be wary of just fitting a PiperX filter without dynojetting etc....read my other post in bike chat titled ' Revolution fork tune' which details the problems i had getting it to run right... although you may be alright with std cans....i would get some cheap second hand cans before tampering with the filter etc as it will be a more noticeable gain than changing filter and probably not affect the running of the bike.

Cheers
