Air filters

[manuel32]

FZ1-s , i think i need a new air filter, this one looks crapped up








My bike has done 6000 miles, this might even be the original.


Who sells the k and n or similar?

However.. (ready to open can of worms) if it was me i would go with the pipercross.

Before i get any arguments i do have a reason  i had a k&n in my car and every few weeks i would get an engine light and emissions fault. cleared it and it came back. MOT was done and it passed so i knew the cat was OK. took out the mass air flow sensor and there was a visible sheen to it. i guessed it was the oil from the k&n, cleaned with isopropyl alcohol fitted a pipercross and fault has never come back.. a mate with am impreza had the same problem. the tuning company he used for some work advised they have seen this a few times and to use the foam style filters and not metal gauze ones... just my thoughts

Thanks fuzzbomb 


i thought £60 a bit steep,,i have opted for the K+N ,in numbers we trust

Got a K&N in mine too.... but I have heard really good things about the Pipercross filters.

Oh now why did you have to show that pic, now all the Gen2 guys will add 'dirty' to their list of lovely things they say about old gits on our gen1 bikes

Unfortunatly mine was dirty first,haha


I have a couple of little tweeks to do and hopefully the k+n will be here friday ready for a spin on Saturday.


Then next job in the workshop, oil and filter.
