I saw one going cheap so i thought i'd give it a whirl.... They list at around £50-55, be carefull there are 2, 1 for road, 1 for race. I paid £25 delivered...Then i bought the Pipercross cleaning kit for £8.70. So not a fortune for a lifetime guarenteed filter. 30% more Airflow, nice and clean, cant be bad.......mmm It's a bit of a mission to get too, but hey ho........Here are some images, sorry there a little bit out of focus, garage and iphone: Messy cables under the tank: Dirt inside the Airbox: Filthy clogged up filter, OE on the left, just 2500 miles!: Mmm new, OE on the left...... I'll post up on Monday if there is any noticable difference, i felt i was missing some induction growl and thought it's worth a punt...She's nice and clean now, just need to mod the Air induction area and thats all done...
Yep, so far, thanks for the tips today, will give her a run when its not so dark, windy and wet looking outside. I let her run for 3-4 mins, all was fine. Guess the ECU will need to sort it's magic....I'm running extra air and a Twin Arrow map with my OE cans :roll: at the moment!!
Nice one!....the freer flowing filter should allow your exhausts to work to their maximum potential - I definitely noticed a small advantage when I installed a K&N filter in my 650. Also, I would strongly recommend cleaning & re-oiling any aftermarket filter on any bike whatsoever whenever you have the tank off for other maintenance or every few thousand miles...I didn't check mine until about 6K miles and I was amazed at the amount of dirt & debris in there....and I'm strictly a fair weather rider, so no telling what gets in there in the UK's climate.
Cheers Darren, I gave it a good clean, and doused it in the Filter Oil, retention spray stuff. Will try it in a few days.
Probably not mate, mind you i am learning, i just need more patience and not to do screws up so tightly!
Good filters. You can use the race one, the only thing required is getting it mapped, so if doing at the same time as fitting a new can it's no drama.
That's some amazingly good price Steffy, I don't supppose there were any more available for just £25 ?
StMarks, no sorry. The guy was selling his ST and removed all his mods. Filter has only done 500 miles, i didn't know that, so I bought the cleaning kit. It's a real mission to get to it. Still, passes a few hours! Triple Jimmy is selling a brand new MWR filter, RRP is about £105, and he wants £75 posted. Not quite the same but if anyone wants it!! Or PM me and lll get it sorted for you.
