I was only going to clean the air filter on my 2000 K5 and I ended up doing a bit more...
I pulled the seat off discovered that I still have a K&N in there.
In all honesty I hate they way they fit, I hate the reduced area for the dirt to stick to and I never feel as though I'm getting it on there right.

So, out it comes and in goes a new one....
Good thing I had the original cage in my private reserve junk pile...
But, before I put in the cage and filter, in goes a PC Racing Pro-Seal Air filter gasket.
I just love the way these things work, clean the mating surface with some acetone and stick it on.

Next, put the stock cage on and the No Toil dual stage air filter.
They even give you some plastic gloves so you don't get you hands sticky :-)

Put the bolt in and your done.

No grease needed and it fits superbly.
I gotta say I like this combo ...

You know, for as clean as this engine is, I wonder how bad my studs are ....

You know this thread sounds really familiar.......I think I've seen one just like it only it took a little bit longer to get the air filter done..... :lol:
As far as the studs go.......don't do it. :wink:

After 14 years of washing it every time I get done riding it, it's way too late to worry about that :-D
-
Nice looking motor . :-D
-
Thanks.
I know I should rebuild it but it still runs amazingly strong.

k&n- filters are good for road use and cars, but no way for dirtbikes in dusty-conditions...
-
100% agreed :-D
-
Destroyed my last top end, never again K&N on any of my bikes.
-
thats why i never buy this k&n-crab for mx-use . on dry conditions without dust it maybe would work....have you thougt of using it in the supermoto?? i think thats a place for it... :wink:
last week i saw a guy with an old cr125 with removed airfiltercase and only an little k&n on the carb mounted. i said him : on a muddy track 5 minutes and the engine dies cause it will stick full of dirt.
he laughed and said: but it looks good. took his bike rode a few laps on our mx-track and then blown up his engine, because the filter was loosen somewhere on the track and the engine soaks all the dust... :evil:
i had only a big smile in the face and said nothing as this idiot came back to his trailer... i just knew this would be happen.. and thanks god, that i could see it live.... :lol:
-
Using it on my SM crossed my mind for approximately .00001 seconds, not gonna happen :-D
-
To be clear, this is not my work.
I make no claims as to how this will or will not work :-P
But since I don't see a lot of porting pics on this site (Or other sites) I figured I'd show you this cylinder and valves from a unknown port guy.

interesting...someone put a little time into that....are you personally gonna run this set-up?...curious as to what some of the gurus think of that.
-
I wish I was a guru....
No, I am not going to run this.
I think it was a quick commercial job from someone that either didn't understand all of what he/she was doing or was just in a hurry to turn a buck.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong :mrgreen:
-
No need to correct you....I've just never seen anything so extensive...that's why I'm curious as to what some of the other guys think of it :wink:
-
The reason I posted pics is I just wanted to see what others were doing.
I know some of the real Guru's here hold their cards really close to their chest when it comes to porting...
But hey, what are these forums for?
