Title: KN AIR FILTER Post by Jimmer on 03/19/09 at 15:24:23 Does anyone know the model number for the chrome KN performance air filter for the savage. I haven't been able to find it. Probability been looking the wrong place. Thanks |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by diamond jim on 03/19/09 at 15:42:53 Was the link I gave you on your other thread not what you were looking for? If there are differences, be sure to post pics and numbers when you find out. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Jimmer on 03/19/09 at 15:56:57 Diamond Jim The info you gave me was correct for that model (KN RC1250). What I looking for is the filter that goes directly on the carb throat thus eliminating the black tube that goes from the carb to the air filter housing. I'll be sure and let everyone know when I find what I'm looking for. Thanks again for you help. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Savage_Amusement on 03/19/09 at 16:19:44 I have the box mine came in out in the garage, I will look later and see what it says. I'm pretty sure I have the exact same one that your asking about. |

I've never had the K&N pod filter so I wasn't sure. But it can get confusing looking at all those different model numbers on the K&N site. Also, other sellers could mistakenly list the number with a wrong description or use the wrong pic. Definitely get the K&N over the other brands. Mine was an ebay K&N imitation that didn't need the oil. It had an internal narrowing that I'm pretty sure now the K&N cone filters don't have. Wow, check this out: http://www.oldbritts.com/42_100004.html Look at the 4th pic. My off-brand pod filter wasn't anywhere near that thick/dense. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Jimmer on 03/20/09 at 10:30:13 Just to let you guys know, I ended up ordering a RC1250 KN filter. Payed $33.00 for it, seems like a good price. What do you think good or not. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by dasch on 03/20/09 at 11:27:53 I have it too. $33 sound fair. Hey, it's a KN! ;-) |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by diamond jim on 03/20/09 at 12:23:08 Sounds good to me. Have you got a new pilot jet and main? Have you done the mixture screw mod? |
|
Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Jimmer on 03/20/09 at 15:19:40 Mr Diamond Jim I've done the Lancer carb modifications and the mixture screw. Probably have to tweak it after I put the KN filter on. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by diamond jim on 03/20/09 at 17:20:12 Cool beans. Looks like you're pretty much set. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Wolf on 03/23/09 at 15:01:13 :-/ K/N or the other brand or the cone filter offered here... What are the difference besides the oiling of the K/N and the price? -filter quality -performance issues Thanks Wolf :) Lancer Jetset kit ordered so that issue resolved |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by justin_o_guy2 on 03/23/09 at 15:16:09 Remember, those use K&N Cleaner & K&N oil. An airhose cleaning voids the warranty. |

http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh128/russ_diamond_jim/airfiltercompare.jpg I was using the one on the left. I got mine off of ebay last fall for 19.99 + shipping. It's this one- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUZUKI-SAVAGE-LS650-S40-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-CONE-FILTER_W0QQitemZ150329972887QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting from notorious flightsimshop. http://photos.imageevent.com/cars4auction/bike/lg_DSC09226.jpg Avoid it. It has a narrowing inside that the K&N on the right does not have. Examining and measuring mine (the left one) revealed that the internal narrowing interferes some with the airflow that enters the pilot air jet opening located at the top of the inside mouth of the stock carb. Either get Lancer's or the K&N. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by bill67 on 03/23/09 at 17:39:54 I've used K and N filters in cars and motorcycles,could see no improvement. In power or gas mileage. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Wolf on 03/23/09 at 18:03:57 Thanks diamond jim Lancers does not require oil ... right... Has anyone tried Lancers model? Just curious, because this is the route i intended to go to clean up the look. Wolf |
|
Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by diamond jim on 03/23/09 at 18:09:54 I haven't but I'm sure his is the model I've seen going for about $39 although I think Lancer sells them for less. |

Title: Re: KN AIR FILTER Post by Wolf on 03/23/09 at 18:12:39 Thanks diamond jim, I'll add that to my Santa list... oops, I think I sent the money in... and forgot this... oh well, I have time to spare. Thanks for the response! Wolf :) |
