air filter

[smokin2stroke]

I am running a K N filter with a pro design adaptor on a stock airbox. Some buddies told me I should use a foam filter like a Twin Air because it would be better to keep fine dust out of my motor.I ride mostly on motocross tracks. Should I get a K N lid for my airbox or should I go with the Twin Air filter?

Twin air all the way..

At one time I had twin UNI foam flters.........they were a magnet for sand on the out side.........but on the inside they were absolutly clean.......thus they were so gooped with sand on the outside that I felt it wasnt breathing properly..........Major clogging............in turn I switched to K/N w/ outerwears

i've ridden in the sand and mud, never had a problem yet. K&N's all the way, let that shee breathe. Oh yeah, don't forget the outerwear, that's where it can get ugly.

You should be fine if you have an outerwear prefilter and clean it often. An oiled foam filter does clean the air better but the K&N flows more air.

i run a pro design foam pro flow on mine and i run a K&N and outerwear w/adapter plate on wifes. they both work good so i would just keep what ya got

Sand clogs up foamies really fast whereas a K&N/outerwear sheds off most of the big chunks. For dusty conditions though, I'd recommend a foam filter. K&N's are lousy filters when it comes to really fine dust. It all depends on where you ride.

I run k@n pods with outerwears and have not had a problem yet.

last summer out trails got so dusty that i was cleaning the outter wrap on my prodesign foam filter so i swapped the outter wrap for a outer wear and the filter stayed good the rest of the season and only hadda toss the outer wear in the washing machine .... has anyone else ran a setup like that?

On long weekends I like to use nylons (you know the kind chicks wear on their legs). They're about $2 and you get 2. Just cut em around the calf area, slip them over the foam filter, and hold em in place w/ a rubber band. They'll catch most of the big stuff so at the end of everyday just swap em out for a new one.

 

Wicked are you saying you ran the whole season w/out cleaning your air filter???

well i ran a good 2 months of riding 3 to 4 times a week after i put a outerwear on my prodesign foam filter , it was like all the dust stayed on the outerwear . but i did toss the outerwear in the washing machine bout once a week or more if it was really dirty. lol the filter stayed really clean tho, i was really suprised.

Wow...alot of us are wasting a ton of time cleaning our filters after every weekend of riding.

my vote is for a K&N with an outerwear. last time i cleaned mine it didn't even need it.
