What about the dust particles entering?
Pore size difference??
You are absolutely correct. Excess dust going into the engine is also an issue.
I gave it 0 out of 10 for offroading. as this airfilter remains open under ur seat it got covered with lot of dust and mud during off roading.i used rc1060 k&n filter on my ns200.during one of my offroad ride mud got stuck on this airfilter and after that i am not able to start my bike for 3 hrs cauz the lack of proper air going inside. so i think stock is best.☮️☮️☮️🙏
Your issue, clean it with the reachable kit
Abhilash thakur, fz is a carburetor run motorcycle, up jet and clean every 2k kms you will never have a problem
Tejas Iyengar bro same issue it's open under seat so I find it difficult during rainy season so would it be good to again install stock filter and once done with rains I will switch back to k&n !! And after the filter swap I will tune the carb by adjusting the AFR . so is it ok to go back to stock for 3-4 month by re adjusting the AFR for the stock filter ?
Why do you talk so slow? Watching the vid at 1.25x speed and it sounds normal
Ganesh Wadhwa 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂lol it works
Thnx... !!!!!
It does work. He he
It works😂😂
Bro you become teacher ...you will definetly rock.
Man I just love the simplicity of your videos.
even though I am a mechanical engineer, I can't explain this simple to a layman about working of this filter.
👏👏👏👏👐for Vikas Bhai

Very informative video like some of your other videos. You have done videos on Gear shops. Can you also cover the best shops in Hyderabad that does bike modification, steering and not only stock bike accessories but also fixes the same on your bike.
U deserve a lot more subscribers !ur Very informative sir
Wow! You explained this amazing. I have a Can Am Ryker and recently it started making noise I took it in and they told me my transmission is shot. They said it got too hot. I was like how can that be, I thought K &N filters were good. Your video explained it so well. I found this video from typing in "K&N air filter ruined my motorcycle engine" 😒🙏🏾
Every time I saw any video about any subject of you I have no doubt on that topic.Thank you .🤩🤩
Nice jeep bro ( white color) . Nice informative video bro. 👍
Hahha.... Need a ride₹

Finally cement road in front of your home 😂 been waiting for this since ages
ty vikas bhai this information really helped
Very informative 😊
You're awesome Vikas.i wanna be a good rider like you ;)
Excellent Explanation Man. Thanks for clarification.
Good insight for beginners. Bro what would you suggest for a Duke 390 2018 model ? Which air filter and do we have to remap the ECU ?
You are awesome Anna ♥
Buddies ❤️.love that intro 😁
Thanks bro... Very informative ...keep going
This video should be watched by all youths who are trying to replace stock air filter with free flow air filter cone. Thanks
Vikas sir very diplomatic information, thank you. Bbuuudddiiieeess 🤗
Very informative. Thank you.
Very helpful vikas bro
Thank you so much for providing the right info because when i used a POD filter or cone K and n filter in FZ v1 then i just completely broke my engine. This has happened with em before so i know all the problem. But now all the things with you said are right just putting a pod filter will kill the engine and the performce will go down for sure 100 percent.
Thanks it's really helpful knowledge 👍
Thank you vikas bhai.. very useful information it is...
Thanks Vikas bro surly this will help our new born riders who just simply took out stock one and uses these kind of air filters for more agressive performance but they are just damaging there bike's engine nothing else. Hope now they have answers what actually they are doing .👍
You are the best
Bro please please please please Review your r1 in a detailed manner. I love your videos and R1.
Very well explained sir, thank you
Nice info vikas very less youtuber give genuine advice keep up the good work.
Thanks brother
Hope you are subscribed. Thank you
Rly GooD suggestions , Love you brw✌♥
explained really well sir great video
Bosch motronic ECUs which come with all KTM bikes can be reset to changed running conditions due to free flow airfilters by keeping the bike idling for 15 mins without the need of remapping....just make sure you are in open space as the bike heats up while doing this...
THANKS.. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON ECU MAPPING..HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT ARE ITS PROS & CONS?
Also dust gets in
Thanks bro 🙏🙏
Very informative 👍👍👍
Just to be clear , the stock replacement k&n filter let's more air enter unless the airbox has restrictions (because the k&n filter is larger then my stock filter) but the sound stays the same
Too good information... for not to harm your bike👌👌
Thanks for your kind information 👍👌😍
Oh my god..thank you bro
So..stock is always good for engine
Please make video on R15 V3........
Very helpful 💙
Thanks buddy.
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
Vikas Rachamalla Yes buddy i subscribed your channel already. And you are most welcome 💙
Keep making this kind of helpful videos.
Bro, I have a RPM problem. Its not being steady and fluctuating . Could you please guide me about the problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Very useful... Thank you
Thank you so much for your information...
Even a stock replacement can also be used as a free flow airfilter, only thing is to remove the top cover of the air filter box. But cone airfilter is totally rubbish, to fix the cone air filter we have to remove the entire airfilter box and the cone filter is directly fitted to carburettor which is very unsafe because it can't be maintained easily for cleaning and other stuffs... So over all stock replacement is best and easy to maintain.
Kishore Kishi not in all cases
Sir do we still need to rejet the carburettor in case of carburettor bikes if we install only a stock replacement air filter or is it really not that necessary?
Informative vdo!!!
Good Video!
gem of biking bhai
I've installed cone K&N back in 2018 for my R15 V2, initially 2 full tanks the mileage decreased drastically, but after that the bike until now is running fine without any problem and I've not done any mappings
Av mai kn ke bare me dekha rha tha phir inka notification mila bahot kush hua mai
Thank you so much. You took my 5 mins, but you saved my Rs.3500/- for air filter, and My R15V3's engine. God bless you brother.
I love my bike, I like it the way she is.
If you have to pick cruiser or fully fared SuperSport which you will personally choose
Brother gud information thankew .... And plz use a small mikes so that you can need not louder and u can talk more easily
Urban myths finally answered properly. Thank you Vikas Sir!!
First I would like to thank you for the DIY vids you make, much informative and appreciate it , But please do use a tripod for the camera it will make the video better and make it look not amateurish..... please take this suggestion as from your fan....
sir eagerly awaiting for your apache 310 review and its comparison with dominar....I am looking forward to get a new bike apache or dominar, with the sole purpose of going everywhere in INDIA on it.....please provide your view....also I am not sure how on every video apache 310 is beating dominar on pickup and top speed part (is it only because of their weight to power ratio?) .... i am waiting waiting waiting waiting.......
Please make a video explaining free flow air filters for 4stroke and 2stroke bikes...is there any difference or not ?
Can we just adjust the airfuel ratio screw given on carborater to make mixture moderate?
Finaly got informtion about air filters
Awaiting for your dominar experience from your leh trip that you had said that you will make later...plz provide a detail experience
Thanks Vikas for this so important video. I was using a K&N air filter since long time and my bike use to heat up in traffic. I own a RS 200 and facing this issue since a long time now. I'll try remapping. I know you are from Mumbai, but do you have any friends in Mumbai who does engine remapping.
Bro u gv good knowledge.. I owe dominar.. N i got free flow exhaust and powertronics.. Could u please make a video on how to remap d ecu...it would be really appreciated 😊
Dude can you make a video on iridium spark plugs
I had a Pulsar 220 which I rode for more than 5 years. I used the Stock replacement air filter from K&N just because i wanted to use something new and better product than before(sponge filter). But surprisingly i found a little bump on the early rpms to the higher mid range and the bike was a bit smoother than before. Also i got a avg fuel consumption of around 40kmpl even in summer times . Note: I did change my spark plugs too from stock to the Iridiums from Ngk. That might have helped too.. Nice Video Vikas. That was informative.
does stock replacement affect the engine life?
Shuvrojyoti Kar bro. It will but in a positive way. As the name suggests its a perfect replacement of your stock air filter. The material is way more classy and also the air passages are better than sponges. Therefore it is possible that you get a slight more air inlet than the stock sponges of the bajaj pulsar 220. Mine worked perfect. Im thinking to re do it on my current cbr 250r
Nice video bro.. would like to ride with you once.. I'm a Duke 390 rider from Chennai
Bro i had installed k&n filter which you have shown in the video. After installing this is Apache RTR 180. I got lots of problem. Lots of smoke started coming from silencer. After I replaced it from to stock it's quite good now. But less change in pick-up
I want to change the sound of my bike and I have Honda cbr150. If I do a stock replacement of k&n ha-1502 will the sound be like the cone type
Very informative
Nice video vikas bro just like always. As an suggestion get some mic . It will be good for u and videos . Ride safe have fun!
Thanks bro. I am already using Rode mic :)
Vikas Rachamalla but bro in this video it looked like u are putting way too much effort while speaking . I felt this is not speaking casually but like addressing assembly . Getting my point? Mount one mic in your self plus one on camera mix it well make it good ti hear and less effort on your side . I realised this 5 min video was somewhat tiring for u . Thnks for the like😍
Awesome sir
Remapping is not always required IF you have a fuel injected motorcycle you need to check the operation of its existing range and if your Intake pushes in more than the ECM can handle then and only then you need to remap, otherwise, it is not needed. As a general observation on Yamaha R15, the ECM easily compensates for the increased inputs (Mind you the "Free flow" intake from K&N does not extravagant air into the system than a stock filter). Now if you have a performance motorcycle then you should probably take it to a garage and do a proper observation. For commuter bikes under 2 Lacs Remapping is not required. Refer to this document. www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/YA-1208.pdf
sir what about for my RE thunderbird 350 X , is carburetor remapping required ?
Akshay SeKHaR My best guess would be nope, you don't need to. But jetting by yourself is not as easy as flashing a ECU. But don't take my word for it.. just check with service station or any RE forums out there..
Shobin p bro some say that conical shape air filters allows more dust but some say it purifies dust and send clean air so is conical filter safe to use? I've been using k and n conical filter in my rs 200 since a year and confused please tell me bro
Obviously any performance filter will allow more air/dust into the engine and in the long run can be bad for your engine. That's what performance filters are designed to do. Now that is in theory. In practice, I have seen many 150CC motorcycles running on filters for years without a problem. So unfortunately not me or anyone can give you 100% correct advice on this. Its just the probablity of you getting an issue or not.
Shobin p thank you for the fast reply bro
thanks ! i changed my mind before changing it
love from pakistan always wait for your videos vikas 😘
Finally Gixxer Sf is launched in Pakistan... @ Moto Mania Pk

Im owning a new 2018 duke 250 and getting a milage of 25..
I need to improve sound....planning to change exaust or change airfilter to k&n which would be good for my bike?
NB. Without effecting milage
Is it necessary to replace the stock air filter to the performance airfilter while installing performance exhaust to NS200 carborated one ?
Any idea on rejetting avenger 220 with k&n rc 1060, moto torque launcher exhaust. Original setting is 2.5 rotations, currently I'm running in 3.5 rotations. Just a blind guess.
Sir please make some rides na we are waiting for your long ride videos please sir make it
vikas bro..but suppose rather than corn air filter, I'll put flat(looking like stock air filter) k & n air filter than...is it safe..?
Brother I want to ask about exhausts I mean what is the difference between original akrapovic exhaust which cost around more than 70000₹ and the one which we get around 4000-5000₹ in our local markets
Is the cheap exhausts are harmful for engines??
nice video
