Kawasaki KRX 1000, keep REPLACING Your Air Filter!!
The KRX 1000 Air Filter is a BIG issue you should keep an eye on. Here is a little video about what we found on our KRX and others. Also worth mentioning is a Particle separator will do NOTHING for you if you still don't change the filter regularly.
Maintenance and inspection is your only defense until a better filter is offered for the KRX 1000. Spend some to save some.
Check out our videos here on the new UNI air filter. It’s better, cleanable, and reusable!
Thanks for watching and all your support!!

Thanks for this video Jake. I’ve had nothing but issues with dust getting into the intake with stock and R2C filters until I switched to a Baldwin filter. Like the Donaldson, it’s about a half inch longer than the stock filter and it works perfect, like it should.
I have the KWT particle separator and it does a good job cutting down the dirt/dust that gets into the airbox
After finding and watching this video, I tried everything that was suggested, The three notches, Grease And A spacer on the bottom. All with a new filter .I still had dirt in the air tract. There was no signs of it getting past the seals, so it had to come right through the filter and this was with 250 miles Of light riding .I did this while I was waiting on the delivery of my new UNI.I had one on my 08 teryx and loved it ,cant wait to get one on the KRX tomorrow. Thanks for everything Jake.

You are correct. And thanks for the purchase. The Uni filter was a mandatory thing for our rides. The stock filters
That flip forward kit looks like it gives you full access to that filter. Great products and service!

Yes they do
I agree, regret putting a k/n filter in my 2011 Polaris Xp900, destroyed my motor, never again!!!
why not put a light layer of grease around the base which would stop silt coming through the base.

It may help. But in the end we realize the paper filter in. We have since gone to the UNI
Preciate the info
I had a polaris 900 200 Miles in dust the engine was whip starting burning oil before its first oil change. I had a 2015
Exactly why I told you before I adapted a UNI three stage Foam Air Filter to my car. Seven months later I have had no dust enter my intake tract since. People will not listen and most of them are in denial. Some people are like sheep and will follow each other off a cliff. I call them Sheeple.

I looked on UNI’s site and found one that was close , but the clamping side was 3.5” and from what I can tell the one needed is 3.25”. What UNI part number did you use? I really think a UNI mod might be the best option till they release something better.

Yay, I'm (in)famous! 😜. I have been looking at the particulate separators that are available for the KRX. Have you had any experience with them? Also, do you have or recommend a video that goes over pulling the intake tubing off and cleaning it?

Lol. Yes the separator’s help but in the end the maintenance is the main thing. There is no videos that I know of removing the intake tubing and air intake box. I know a guy though 😉
What’s your opinion on the Wix #51358 it’s a little longer than the stock filter as well and I’ve always been under the impression that wix made great filters Good video, appreciate all the time you put into them for us😎
Maybe Donaldson can make one

I apologize, what is shoedo? or shoodew? I can't find it on line or don't know what that is? Silicone?? 2nd question is if you need to fill in those little slots on the filter, what is the reason they make it like this in the first place? There must be a reason they make it like this?

The reasoning they made them was for vacuum suction. However, we have gone away from using paper air filters in the Kawasaki. Check out our videos and we now have a UNI air filter made specifically for the Kawasaki. Lifetime and cleanable.

@@michaellindsay4762 they are oil foam filters. Not oil fabric like the K&n and others. The new uni we made is a clamp on. No push on issues.
Update :I put silicone in the three notches of the stock filter, let dry. Then added a piece of 2"x2" piece of foam weather stripping to the door to put pressure on the filter and closed the cove. Now the cover springs open quick when the locking spring are undone.
Jake how much longer is your Donaldson compared to the stock, my car is a 2121. Someone said their filter was 1.5 inches longer than skock.I put a 1/2 inch spacer on the bottom on my filter to help with a tighter fit, and the door would not close. As for the three gaps along the seal I used silicone, but I let it dry before installing it. I would like to know your opinion on the washable RC2 . I hit the like button. 😀

Thank you. I don’t remember the exact length but it’s around 1/4”. Read the other comments here about the rc2. We are working on a pre-filter for our filter now and in the next couple months will have a cleanable air filter available.

It helps, but it’s no replacement for maintenance. From what I’ve seen most people that have them don’t look at the air filter because they think it’s good. That’s really bad.
I have found that the NAPA gold filter fits really well. It also seems to be a quality filter. Two questions: Now that you have had ayear of changing filters more often, how often are you changing your filter? Secondly, how do you feel about using the air compressor to blow the filter out from the inside out every ride or two, in between filter changes?

we have learned to no longer trust the paper filter and neither should you. We now make and sell a UNI foam oiled air filter that is always cleanable. The napa/wix are junk. Watch the video here on our channel. Even the new kawasaki motorcycles come with a oiled foam air filter, why not the KRX?
