Title: pod filters for carbs?
Post by: YouFancy77 on January 31, 2015, 08:58:28 AM
Hey guys im looking into putting new filters on my carbs because im not running the stock air box.  I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions in which filters i should run or which ones fit well.  Ive re-jetted my carbs so dont worry itll run well without the air box.  Any info is appreciated, thanks guys!!

If you rejetted the bike just put on pods and be done with it. They're the best you can get.

That depends on your definition of "best".
Keep in mind that ANY filter that flows higher volume than stock will let more dirt into your engine.
The pod filters especially are notorious for letting small animals into your carbs.  :icon_eek:

No? Pods are impossible for any small animals to get into. I have K&N pods and you couldn't get into the carbs if you tried.

which pods did you use, the lunchbox or just individual pods? 57mm pods will fit right?

I need a hyperbole switch!
What I meant is that the higher a filter flows, the more (larger) dirt it will let into the engine.
Ask The Bhudda, I'm sure he can explain it better than me.
