I love the editing of your videos, I have no idea what you just did to your motorcycle. The air filter plate will have to wait until I get a bike first. Keep posting!
I think the RE would have some good reasons to not give stage 2 plate and control the air flow to some extent. If keeping air filter hole all open would have best then why RE did not provide it in stock setup? by the way I have tried it the stage 2 plate with moto wings air filter and did not see any noticeable difference in pickup or top speed of the bike.
Just swapping the air filter doesn’t give any performance boost. You will have to change the exhausts as well. If you change the intake to be better, then logically, you have to change the exhaust as well. And then install a booster plug for that cherry on cake. :)
I have ordered powerage short exhaust for my gt650 as you suggested, thank you, now looking for air filter and can see that you are using KNN but also read that people have recommended using booster plug and commented because it was loosing power something like not able to go to even 160kmph etc, so please may I know do we really need some booster plug?
Hey Sri, quick question for you. The thing I don't see anybody talk about is the risk of water getting into the filter/engine after removing the stock filter cover. I only commute 10km to and from work but there are many times I'm commuting in the rain and don't want to risk any engine damage. Do you have any insight on my concern?
Hey, there is noway the water will not go in due to rain. I have been using it since 4 years now and have not yet faced any issue. The air box is placed quite high, and the chances of water going in the air filter is negligible. Unless the bike is completely submerged in water which is highly unlikely.
@@SrinivasGanesh Yup,, I want to know how the sound is with stock exhaust ND k&n filter...! And how about mileage with it ... Any mileage drop in it after changing filter ?
I did the same on my bs4 himalayan .what I have obsevered is. 1. The power has increased. 2. Throttel response is mint. 3. I smell fuel my from exaust. Not sure if my engine is running rich. Do you have the same issue? Did you get a chance to look into mileage.
@@arunmoh6418 Oh yeah, after installing the aftermarket AirFilter you absolutely have to let it idle for 10-15mins for the ECU to calibrate. thank you for watching my videos! And thank you for the support!
It’s more than a year since you uploaded this video. What’s your POV with respect to having an air filter without a booster plug and stock exhausts? How does it affect the mileage?
Thank you for watching the video. It doesn't affect mileage. maybe 0.1%. I haven't seen much of a difference. The booster plug, in common man's terms, tricks the ECU into thinking it is intaking cold and dense air. The air filter, is just like our nose, (sort of) which filters out particles which, in combination results in better combustion and smoother power delivery.
The DNA does nothing measurable for the bike. You are better off just installing the adapter with stock filter if you want a bit more air. You may want to test stock and DNA filter with adapter to see if you get any difference??
The DNA or in my case K&N, is only there because it is re useable. Wash it, re oil it and you’re good to go. With the stock ones. You gotta change the paper element entirely. Saves money in the long run. :)
Don't try all this, it will lean out the mixture (too much air) which will cause your engine to overheat as the stock ECU will not be able to compensate the extreme variation in air intake. It will have 0% performance gain. You need to custom remap your ECU using something like Power Commander 5 and Dyno tune it in order to get any real results. Also you can enjoy the extra dust and mud getting into the air filter.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback, I'll try getting a power commander 5 and aftermarket exhausts. That ought to prevent the bike from over heating. If not, then I'll go back to the stock airfilter and the air filter plate. Thank you for watching the video as well!! 🙌🏽 Much love from New Delhi!
P.S, are there any changes in exhaust sound and that engine whistle which can be heard properly while decelerating? Cause i want my stock cans to be more audible as slip ons are a big no-no down here in south, thanks to strict cops!

Awwww Thank you so much for watching Efi!!
I like your Natural Accent
Hahaha thanks man. 🙌🏽
Oh do you? Thanks man!
Really appreciate your effort thanks again
Thank you for watching the videos!! :)
Nice thanks. Hard to find in Europe. Anyway found out, that DNA is offering this plate as well :)
Absolutely it does!!
Got it👍👍👍
you are welcome!
This seems like a must-have. Very informative!
haha yes!
Sri- The seat automatically locks in place, you don't have to hit it!
Also Sri- Hits it every time he removes it.
hahaha I've seen a lot of mechanics do that! LOL

@@SrinivasGanesh excellent, thanks Sri. After all, it is a motorcycle and not a submarine right? Hope you're enjoying your new Himalayan!
@@GarrettQuesnelle hahahahahaha absolutely. 🤣 good point sir. Yes it is quite amazing!
what’s the handle bar you’re using? Is it the thunderbird X one?
himalayan handlebar
@@varun1036 thank you
Yep, Himalayan handlebar.
How is the exhaust sound after changing K&N air filter? Can you make a video on it's exhaust note and a flyby sound!!
Sure thing. Will make a video on that.
The sound has changed considerably. And my exhaust system is stock.!!
@@SrinivasGanesh Yup,, I want to know how the sound is with stock exhaust ND k&n filter...! And how about mileage with it ... Any mileage drop in it after changing filter ?
@@deepakraja5139 the stock cans have definitely become more audible. Will calculate the mileage. Just waiting for tank to get empty.
Can we use this intake cover with the stock airfilter? Will there be any issues?
Nope. No issue if you use this with stock. It’s completely alright.
I did the same on my bs4 himalayan .what I have obsevered is.
1. The power has increased.
2. Throttel response is mint.
3. I smell fuel my from exaust. Not sure if my engine is running rich.
Do you have the same issue?
Did you get a chance to look into mileage.
Mileage is the same as 23-25 like before. Even after installing a Booster Plug. (Video coming soon) Although I don't smell fuel from my exhaust.
@@SrinivasGanesh Yeah. I kept bike running on idel for 15 mins. Solved the issue. Thanks.

Can you feel the performance difference ?
absolutely! The throttle got more sensitive and responsive. I can feel more power. The sound exhaust/ engine sound changed. It has more bass now!
@@SrinivasGanesh what about mileage
@@vikasshetty390 will calculate and let you know.
What about the dust particles won't it get sucked more coz of the stage 2 kit
Nope, when you give the bike for regular servicing, just ask the expert to clean it thoroughly. And you are good.
Bhai tune apne drawings nahi dale YT pe abhi tak?
ek separate channel banaunga unke liye
@@SrinivasGanesh chalega bhai👏🏾🙌🏾
Can this be installed on a stock air filter and stock exhaust? Looks promising.
Yes it can be. It is a worthy addition to your 650.

Hello brother, what setup are you using now and how is it working?
❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼
❤️
P.S, are there any changes in exhaust sound and that engine whistle which can be heard properly while decelerating? Cause i want my stock cans to be more audible as slip ons are a big no-no down here in south, thanks to strict cops!
Yes Exhaust note gets more bass-y. And you definitely hear the engine whistle properly. I also don't plan to have after market exhausts on my ride.
Quel copri fianco si è rotto andando che delusione 😂
oh no!
