just bought an open air filter for my typh,, im wondering how much i will have to upjet by, I am currently running the standard air box and the jet is 90, cheers
the usual rule of thumb is +10 sizes for an open filter, there are other variables to consider though, like for instance the type of open filter, some flow well others barely flow more than the std air box, also depends on how accurately your carb is jetted in the 1st place....
cheers mate. the carb is pretty accurate after being jetted by tdr. is there any specific air filter you would recommend?
im not really a big fan of open filters to be honest...i think they are a bad idea on a daily use bike. but they do look better than a fugly airbox, and some people like the extra racket they make, and turn a blind eye to the extra fuel they burn and the fact their bike conks out in the rain :grin:
theres a non stop debate about open filters in the winter, this will be my 2nd winter running an polini open filter, and not ONCE have i ever had a problem with it and the weather, the only time i've ever had a problem with a wet filter was when i washed my bike down with a hose and acidently got my filter, squeezed it out and it was all good, you can also by open filters with splash covers for the winter, just to let you know
agreed, as i have a aerox its tucked under then belly panel a little where as stalkers etc the filter is clearly showing.
on a lot of peds the open filter is sat right on top of the back wheel, and then some people even take the rear hugger off :glare:
