BMC or K&N air filter??
 

Hi guys! 8)

I'm in need of an power air filter and have read topics mentioning both BMC and K&N, but which one of them brings more power to the SV 650 (K3)?

Need one desperately...and will most probably do adjustments with a Yoshi box...

Damn this beer tastes good... :drink:

Cheers!

Could be wrong but seem to remember the BMC being pick of the pair. Hopefuly one of the minitwin racers will be along shortly to add some 1st hand knowledge

I'd go for BMC myself and from what I've read over on the sv1000 portal is that the K&N's are even more restrictive than stock filters. I believe the BMCs allowed a more free flow. Pipercross are ment to be good too.

Go for the Pipercross kit, with the airbox lid replacment...

But I would say that...... :lol:

Can really comment on the FI models but the classic hatd the choice of 4 different BMC filters, which ment you could get the right one depended on what mods you'd done.

if memeory serves,
direct replacement for standard
street race
race
race rs

Not much help to you I know but others may lookin on this thread?

Cheers Mark.

From what i have read on Svrider the first filter K`N did was more restrictive than stock but they changed it allow more air flow than stock


See http://www.svrider.com/tips/KandN.htm

Why?

read the name in text english :lol:

... I work for Pipercross... dont worry, I,m not on here to preach about the benefits of foam filters..

Would be happy to arrange any group buys or any info if needed though...

Just got my K3 SV650S.

Yes...I knew that...was meant to be sarcastic but I forgot the emoticons ](*,)
