Title: K&N Cone Filter
Post by: rraiderr on March 31, 2007, 01:34:35 PM

Can I remove the entire air box and install K&N round or cone filters directly onto the carbs?

If so what is carb inlet size where the filter connect direcltey to the carb? K&N lists many different inlet sizes and with my bad luck I will get the wrong one.

If this is possible is their any negative side effects?

Also would I need to re-jet? If so what size jets do you recommend.

1999 GS500E stock motor and pipe.

Thanks for the help in advance.

K&N and a couple of other knock off brands make pods. Not sure about the size, best bet go out and measure it from top to bottom. You will definitely need to re-jet. Also I'm not sure I'd worry about going to pods or a lunchbox ( K&N part RU-2970) If you aren't going to an aftermarket pipe also. check out the Wiki there's a rejetting matrix that shows you what size mains and pilots you will need according to your filter and eshaust.
