K&Ns X-Stream lid

[canyncarvr]

Anyone using one of these? Like it? Don't?

 

 

I have one...haven't ridden with it yet.

 

 

 

It's basically a lid-full'o-K&N filter. Just snaps in place like the oem lid. Comes with an outerwear and some jets.

 

fyi..K&N says to put in 340s (Mikuni..not DynoJet) with the lid, and move the oem needle clips to #5. Whoa..that's a lot ofchange.

 

I understand that 'more jet' is not due to 'more air'. Carbs run on pressure differentials. Still...could there be THAT much drop in pressure in the box with just the addition of this lid?

 

It's odd that DynoJet's req (stage 3 kit) is their 280 main with NO airbox at all and K&N wants a much bigger jet WITH the airbox in place.

 

Yeah...I understand the different numbering schemes between DJ and Mikuni.

 

Thanks!

i ran my old engine t5 with v force reeds, pro design filter, with no lid

 

 

ran 340 mains, toomey needle in the 4th clip ran like a top.

I think its pretty pricey. I rather just run with the airbox off w/outerwears.

i like mine . i ride alot of trail , so mud and dirt , water and it works good and dont use that jet guide lines they give you, just jet your self

t5's, boyeson reed petals, K&N in the box + powerlid on the box with the "precharger/outerware"

 

Currently running 360 mains. @ sea level.

I have one, like 3 rides on it. I went up one main size. I run 290s I think, with pc platinums and K&N on a pro flow. By the way, it isn't waterproof, but it does dry out quickly if you bury your shee in the mud. Trust me, I know.

Just wrap the filter in an Outerwear, Save some $$$$$$

I was going to get one but now I don't even have an airbox lol

[munkenaround]

I have one of those too. I added a pipe and now run a 320 main 30 pilot for the winter. I think the jet size difference is that those arent genuine mikuni jets. not to mention k&n sends 1 each of 2 different sizes

all this lid does is add a nother filter it is a rip off the dino proves it dont buy one

[richybanshee]

What about if you take the airfilter off and just put the K&N lid. Should not this increase airflow and filter the air?

 

Why use 2 filters?

 

Else, just used the K&N filter with outware that goes in the stock location and no lid or use a foam uni filter ... for better filtration and almost the same air flow.

[Banshee~]

Yea wrap a pantie hoes around the K&N and then an outerwares around that....thats all you need.

[richybanshee]

pantie hoes ... sounds sexy

I have one of those lids that i used one day for about an hour. I didn't like the way my bike ran. My bike requires more air. I will sell it if anyone is interested. $50 plus shipping. I paid around $100 for it.
