1000 RR Air filter

djomla · 07-11-2008, 9:57 PM

Did un upgrate from 954 to 2005 1000 RR, very happy with it but I have to put few bits on it

So I`m after getting Yoshimura RS-5 Carbon, it looks cool and I really like the sound of it,
Got PCIII usb as well and now wondering what air filter to get, on my cbr 600 and my cbr 954 I had K&N, but there are some other air filters:
So please opinions, which one should I go for:

In my opinion you shouold use a stock filter and replace it frequently.

Stock and available cheap on eBay from guys spending $80 -$100 on others.

djomla · 07-15-2008, 7:08 AM

Thanks guys.... I was gonna add stock myself today but now that you`ve done it that`s even better....cheers

was talking to this guy who`s gonna do the custom map on PCIII... he was just saing the same thing..."save yourself money man, stock works best on dyno"...
Think im gonna keep my stock filter and spend that money on something else... like braided brake lines...Goodridge or Hell....

I had K&N for a 96' F3 and a 99 R1 and fit was terrible and both bikes seemed to loose torque in the low to mid range. A waste of $ IMO.

CBR4LYFE · 08-04-2008, 3:17 AM

I have a DNA filter in my 06 thou, didnt notice a difference (not exactly a great thing when spending the money)... came with a life time warranty though.

bjay51d · 08-05-2008, 3:44 PM

my bike seems to like the k&n shes running great. all I have to do is clean it out every once and awhile...it already paid for its self a few times.

segiano · 08-05-2008, 8:23 PM

I use the BMC race filter in my 07. I also wash it about every other month.

08silvercbr · 08-05-2008, 8:35 PM

Depending on your jetting and tuning either can work well. I tend to stay with stock.

djomla · 09-09-2008, 5:17 PM

I left stock in....works gr8 with yoshi RS-5 carbon and PCIIIusb...

papadaca · 09-09-2008, 5:37 PM

imma put in a BMC air filter in see how this goes when I get the cash
between
the valve flapper mod n the slip on hopefully theres noticable gains in the low end and mid range. dont care to muc h bout up top cause realistically I wont be there to much cept on freeway late at night.

Im very much the same story, on my cbr600 f4i (F Sport) and later on on my 954 I had PC and K&N, but got 1000 RR 2005 back in may...And was asking around what filter to get for it and most people said to leave the stock filter...
I`ve yoshy carbon now with PCIIIusb and stock filter and Im really happy with it, I love it, U`re better off spending that money on something else, on brakes maybe like me..Get yourself goodridge brake lines and pazzo levers...

There was an engineer who also owned an RC51 I came across awhile back on another forum who did a flow check on the RC's filters. He compared the engine's requirements with the filters capability. If I can remember right, the RC uses around 1100 CFM at WOT/max RPM, and the stock filters flowed 1300 CFM with the restrictor installed. Without the restrictor, they flowed around 1700 CFM. And this was with a drop of only 1 in/mg of vacuum. On ram-air air boxes, this is neglible.

Of course the high-end filters will flow more, but your motor probably doesn't use that much air. It seems the only real benefit from aftermarket filters is on oil-impregnated ones, they trap dust particles much better. And they do flow more when very dirty...If you let yours go that long.

I've heard of good things about that airbox. But the increased capacity is the reason for the extra power, not the filters. That was the last on my list of to-do, but unfortunately I never got around to it before I sold my bike.

franc01 · 12-21-2008, 12:57 PM

What about stock filter with the screen removed? Has anyone ever proven a difference on the dyno from removing the screen?

fritter76 · 01-29-2009, 11:59 PM

Gday we ran side by side tuning run on my cbr1000 it only made a small difference changing the filters but being able to clean the filter for as long as you own it is an advantage. by the way there bmc filters K&N actually dropt bottom end a bit.

wmb357 · 01-30-2009, 7:48 AM

i went with K&N on my 1000RR and it definitly feels more responsive

meyerz5 · 03-03-2009, 5:59 PM

08 Blade, Yosh Carbon, USB programer and STOCK FILTER

johnx144 · 04-26-2009, 7:45 PM

i used stock. i changed it for the first time ive owned the bike (3 yrs) and i noticed the difference in acceleration. the removed one was quite dirty.

Jetpilot07 · 04-27-2009, 1:30 PM

stock filter!!!

jamie_cassidy · 05-08-2009, 3:55 PM

I have an 08 cbr 1000rr and I just got it out of the shop yesterday. They put in my PUD clutch recall and I bought a K&N airfilter while I was there. Big difference the K&N seemed to add 1000 rpms to the power curve on the lower end. You can really tell in sixth gear at normal speed. Best $70 I have ever spent.

sidmarklong · 05-08-2009, 5:41 PM

I think stock is fine. As it is right now, I still suffer a light head ache from my eyeballs beaing forced back into my skull sockets, and setting my hair on fire from the last time I twisted the throttle. I had to change my Deppends earlier than usual too.

jamie_cassidy · 05-08-2009, 6:35 PM

You're right very fast bike, however, the filter is definately a big difference. I would not have believed how much until I put one on. First gear wheelie at 4500 without the clutch and before it was 5500. When you get comfortable this is a good first step for the money.

smokenssz · 05-12-2009, 2:20 PM

BMC race filter on my 08 1rr. I love it.

papadaca · 09-24-2009, 2:06 AM

Got the bmc filters I notice a big difference in throttle responce so far, and the bike revs quicker. Soon as I can replace the tank bolt on the left side im going to take it for a test ride and see how it improved over my dirty stock filter. I seen what a custom AEM/ spectre cold air intake did for my car
Id like to see what this will do for my 07 blade. Next upgrade is a Ducati 1098 single sided swing arm along with Marchesini rims. Imma post pics of my blade when im dun upgradin. Shiza is gunna look awesome.
