Nice video, points to ponder are- 1. The K&N technical department when I questioned them directly said they did not claim engines make more power with their K&N air filters fitted, they then went on to emphasise the benefits of the filter being reusable on cost grounds. 2.Air filters are fitted to internal combustion engines to remove dust and grit that is suspended in or thrown into the induction airflow, K&N filters allow far more debris through than paper air filters, this debris then travels into the carb or throttle body and into the valves and combustion chambers, it causes wear. 3. If we are to believe that an air box or intake is restrictive then it’s restrictive effect would be most noticeable at wide open throttle, when the engine is demanding the most air, this points to the probability that at lesser throttle openings a standard filter and intake system provide more than enough air.

Great video, no nonsense ,straight to the point. Well done !

I pulled my snorkel but need to get an upgraded filter. Already a noticeable improvement.

Even just the snorkel is crazy the difference. The upgrade to the filter will help mainly because the stock is more of a paper filter and depending on where you ride might be a bit more affected by the stuff the snorkel could deflect. That and just the bit more air will open up the bike.

Nice! Done and done here as well on my XC. Now get that fuel booster plug from TEC. Worth it.

Nicely made video! I understand the theory behind opening up the air intake more... in what riding conditions do you really notice the benefits of the mod?

@UnknownOverLand

3 жыл бұрын

You’re going to see most benefits at the lower revs or when the throttle is partially open. During that time the ECU is doing a lot more work trying to control air/fuel mixtures.

Nice and straight to the point video! Once you swap out the filter and removed the snorkel, did you do the "auto-adjust" where you start the bike without touching the throttle and let it run until the fan kick in? Just curious if it's needed or not.

just turn the snorkel around.. it'll direct the air flow straight on to the air filter... great bikes...

There's a noticeable sound difference, and seems a bit more responsive in the lower revs, but it's still pretty early to tell overall.

Hah, perhaps that's actually what bikes at this altitude really need. :)

Anyone with legitimate mechanical knowledge know if removing the snorkel is likely going to lead to damage? I don't know why the engineers would put it there if it doesn't do anything

I hope you are not taking it off road now. New filter with more dust going through and no snorkel. If you ride off-road with dusty or mud conditions I would even thought about adding pre oiled filter to a snorkel to reduce the chance anything would go through filters.

Moar plz
