Hi FG 👋 I installed the DNA air filter on my Meteor 350 a couple of years ago and immediately noticed an improvement when climbing hills and better pick up when gunning the throttle. Thanks for your take on the filter and for sharing the lovely PA countryside with us 👍✌️
Hi Glenn, I enjoy reading any comments, whether they are about my videos or the videos of others', but this one has to be the best one I've gotten so far. I think it's because you thanked me and complimented the PA countryside. I always leave a comment on a video that I enjoyed, and always thank the creator for the video because - let's face it - these things are a labor of love and wanting to share, and a fair modicum of effort is required just to get 1 presentable clip. The PA countryside is stunning to me, and the star of the show, regardless of what I'm yammering on about. Thank you for watching and commenting! Best wishes. George
Having now watched several videos extolling the virtues of these and read the various comments ( I wasn’t sure whether getting one of these was going to be worth the time ,effort and money ! ) after watching your video I’ve finally made my mind up to get one ……of course if I’m disappointed you can expect to hear from my solicitor ( only kidding 😂)
You know what's funny, pianoboogieman7290? That is exactly why I removed it and went for a long ride with the stock setup back in place; I was terribly worried about being hounded by solicitors! Seriously, though, I'm a guy that does not like to modify vehicles in any way that affects performance, yet this DNA filter kit somehow improves the bike while allowing it to completely retain its character. It's an amazing thing, especially for the price. Please let me know what you think of it after it's fitted. Thank you for watching and commenting! George
You've got a lovely place to ride there! I've just bought a Bullet 350 and have a DNA filter and cover waiting to fit (I'm waiting until after first service and maybe a bit longer). It makes total sense to me that more air = more fuel (once the sensor adjusts) and so you get better performance. No doubt it is small, because there will still be limitations set in the ECU, but there will have been quite strict limitations for emissions and noise that are somewhat 'relaxed' by the new filter and cover. It doesn't surprise me that there isn't a top-end or absolute improvement, but there are situational (like going up hills and pulling away) improvements. Manufacturers put quite artificial limits on their machines sometimes due to using economical parts and sometimes for meeting certain standards. Riders can choose to 'override' those choices by using more expensive parts and tweaking the setup. Little question: Does the classic have a document holder over the air intake like the Bullet does? If so did you leave it off after fitting the filter and cover?
Hi Disposalist, Congratulations on the Bullet! Which one did you get, and how did you decide? I have a friend planning to buy an Enfield, and he keeps waffling about which one to get, but seems to be leaning towards a Bullet, so we talk about the virtues of each version. Even I have trouble deciding which one I would get, though; probably the maroon one, and then buy a headlight visor for it, but my mind changes all of the time. I put the manual/document holder back in place. I did consider leaving it off, but after a quick examination decided that it doesn't restrict airflow any more than a very minute amount, if at all. Besides, it's a convenient place to store the OM and the legal documents. I also waited until @600 miles before I installed the DNA kit. My valves were tight, by the way, when I checked them at 300 miles, so even though I hear that RE has lengthened the mileage for the first service, I wouldn't recommend it.
