Thread: *+%#@%$ air filter assembly

Silk 100........ I hate you! I did see that when I was looking at oilhead RT's. It's one of the reasons I was / am seriously considering them for a replacement for the K75. I just have to find an 04 that I can afford. It may take a couple years or decades though......

I suspect a lot of filter element replacements are premature. I connect a Filter Minder and do a full throttle run through the gears every so often to check.

Looks like there might be a second bolt back by the fuel pressure regulator, to secure the plate a little better and maybe give the bracket a little stronger platform to sit on. But if that plate were out of there, you sure could keep food nice and...

Question, I want to know what happens in a hard rain. __________________ Jon Diaz I pull over and wait, seriously we were surfing with the semi's one time and the wheel wash soaked us, but had no effect on the bikes performance. Question, Originally Posted by breyfogle I'd be interested in what effect the mod had on the powerband, either good or bad. No measurable affect that I could tell from the seat.

You know how those teutonic twits designed the K-bikes right?? They took a string from which they suspended the airfilter, then proceeded to built the bike around it. .....

That is an idea I Gotta Steal! I'd just want to add a cowling from in front of the radiator side coverpoint to rainproof (hat tip > jdiaz) and decorate/conceal the entire assembly. 41077...Salute! I wonder how that affects fuel/air ratio... My R11HR has K&Ns at the venturis of each injector intake. An exhaust gas analyzer showed 18-21(!):1 where 14.7:1 is optimal & mid-high 13s is what performance tuners go for. It...

Sounds as about as much fun as replacing the airfilter on the RS/GT/LT K's....remove both right and left fairing, front cowling, unbolt fuel tank, disconnect quick connect fuel lines and pray they don't decide to spring a leak, THEN from the bowels of the bike, remove the filter cover, pull the old filter, hoping the pound of insects on it an entomologist would die for don't fall down the throat before you can vaccum out.
