Vincip92 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Just rebuilt my whole motor and I wanna get rid of the old air filter and get a k&n but a guy a Yamaha said they are horrible for sand is this true or is he right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
sprinklerman Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Properly maintained, with outerwear, they're fine. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk Quote
Sandking Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Wrong, k&n with outerwear works great in sand. Quote
Vincip92 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Posted July 13, 2015 What would be a better choice a k&n or a pro design Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
lil Doobie420 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Knns are good for sand but not for dusty riding . 1 Quote
Vincip92 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Report Posted July 18, 2015 Considering every time I do ride trails it seems to turn into a dust storm I guess I'm gonna have to go with the foam filter Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
oldskool Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Are you going to use your box or run pods? Quote
dirtydownunder Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 foam filter will filter more but not flow as much as a kn and clog up pretty fast in real dusty environments. if you get foam filters get a few 2nd stage foams. Quote
salmon_slayer06 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 IMO a properly oiled K&N with an outerwear prefilter is the best filter to use. I spary down the air box with a light mist as well as the intake to catch an fine dust. After a few weekends I'll wash the air box and prefilter and wipe the intake to see if its dirty. I'll never use foam Quote

Justintoxicated Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) I hate K&Ns but your options are pretty limited on Banshees due to limited space and the need for a high flow filter. I like the new reusable synthetic dry flow filters better, but they need to be pretty big to flow. Go with a K&N and outer wears if your stuck running pods, or really even if your using the airbox. Yes dust can and will get past it, but at least it's a 2-stroke with an easy rebuild. Edited July 27, 2015 by Justintoxicated Quote
Banshee Chad Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 K&n with outer wear.. Oil it right and it'll only need cleaned a few times a year riding dunes. Quote
special06shee Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 K&n for sand. Foam filters for ANYTHING else. Quote
