Where i live now its winter and there are many rainy days so will i have a problem if i use this filter "Stage6 Double Layer Racing Air filter" can you suggest me any other filter (covered preferably ) for my setup ;; I have a gilera runner 50sp 2013
My setup
Stage 6 racing mkII cylinder
Stage 6 R/T VHST 24mm Carb
r-setup 14k exhaust
Stage 6 intake system
Stage 6 R/T MKII crankshaft (Also what do you thing will be better for my setup an 80mm conrod or an 85 one)


I havent ordered anything yet waiting for suggestions...
Thanks for reading and sorry for my english :/

Those filters are fine. Make sure you have room to fit it and that when suspension compresses nothing rubs on it or you will quickly wear holes in it. I run one and keep a plastic bag over it when scoot isnt being ridden to keep the moisture off.

Malossi E13 isnt a bad filter, its compact and covered. Dont buy the copy version of it though, the outer cover has a tendancy to fall off once it has been removed a few times

i actually went back to my standard airbox on my scoot after my filter kept getting wet, but we get considerably more rain here than in the uk i think. but like nathanael says, just be sure it doesnt rub anywhere, or you will have major problems (im a guy who rode to italy with a bracket rubbing a hole slowly through his tank)

haha thanks both of you i may keep the airbox and mod it :)

you need to make sure the intake into the airbox is equal to or greater than the carb diameter, or you will choke it off
