After finding and watching this video, I tried everything that was suggested, The three notches, Grease And A spacer on the bottom. All with a new filter .I still had dirt in the air tract. There was no signs of it getting past the seals, so it had to come right through the filter and this was with 250 miles Of light riding .I did this while I was waiting on the delivery of my new UNI.I had one on my 08 teryx and loved it ,cant wait to get one on the KRX tomorrow. Thanks for everything Jake.
Thanks for this video Jake. I’ve had nothing but issues with dust getting into the intake with stock and R2C filters until I switched to a Baldwin filter. Like the Donaldson, it’s about a half inch longer than the stock filter and it works perfect, like it should.
The shoe goo worked a little better but these paper filters are not the answer. The Trinity is definitely not the answer either. Lots of information and results are posted on the forums. We went to the UNI and have it looked back. Check out our newer videos on that filter.
@FULL ACCESS UTV so is the new filter you sell is that get oil I thought the k&n type filters were not that great and did they fix the groves on the rear
I have found that the NAPA gold filter fits really well. It also seems to be a quality filter. Two questions: Now that you have had ayear of changing filters more often, how often are you changing your filter? Secondly, how do you feel about using the air compressor to blow the filter out from the inside out every ride or two, in between filter changes?
we have learned to no longer trust the paper filter and neither should you. We now make and sell a UNI foam oiled air filter that is always cleanable. The napa/wix are junk. Watch the video here on our channel. Even the new kawasaki motorcycles come with a oiled foam air filter, why not the KRX?
I apologize, what is shoedo? or shoodew? I can't find it on line or don't know what that is? Silicone?? 2nd question is if you need to fill in those little slots on the filter, what is the reason they make it like this in the first place? There must be a reason they make it like this?
The reasoning they made them was for vacuum suction. However, we have gone away from using paper air filters in the Kawasaki. Check out our videos and we now have a UNI air filter made specifically for the Kawasaki. Lifetime and cleanable.
Hey Jake, James here in Atlanta. I have many of the products you sell and you do a great job with keeping us KRX guys informed. What are your thoughts on the dry style R2C filter?
Just ordered a couple from yah, thanks for the tips. What do you think of the S&B particle seperator? I ran S&B on my 2015 RZR XP it really cut down the amount of dust getting to the filter on that machine.
It helps, but it’s no replacement for maintenance. From what I’ve seen most people that have them don’t look at the air filter because they think it’s good. That’s really bad.
Great video. You might’ve mentioned it and I just missed it, but as a general rule of thumb, how often would you say replace the filter? 50 hours or once a year or sooner?
Way sooner. It really depends on you and where you’re riding, but I’ve been pretty religious about mine and it wasn’t soon enough. That filter shown only had two trips on it.
is there a ring for a secondary filter? when i worked on fork lifts, there was always a secondary filter inside the outer filter. and would putting a ring of grease around the filter help any ?
What’s your opinion on the Wix #51358 it’s a little longer than the stock filter as well and I’ve always been under the impression that wix made great filters Good video, appreciate all the time you put into them for us😎
Exactly why I told you before I adapted a UNI three stage Foam Air Filter to my car. Seven months later I have had no dust enter my intake tract since. People will not listen and most of them are in denial. Some people are like sheep and will follow each other off a cliff. I call them Sheeple.
I looked on UNI’s site and found one that was close , but the clamping side was 3.5” and from what I can tell the one needed is 3.25”. What UNI part number did you use? I really think a UNI mod might be the best option till they release something better.
Jake how much longer is your Donaldson compared to the stock, my car is a 2121. Someone said their filter was 1.5 inches longer than skock.I put a 1/2 inch spacer on the bottom on my filter to help with a tighter fit, and the door would not close. As for the three gaps along the seal I used silicone, but I let it dry before installing it. I would like to know your opinion on the washable RC2 . I hit the like button. 😀
Thank you. I don’t remember the exact length but it’s around 1/4”. Read the other comments here about the rc2. We are working on a pre-filter for our filter now and in the next couple months will have a cleanable air filter available.
Yay, I'm (in)famous! 😜. I have been looking at the particulate separators that are available for the KRX. Have you had any experience with them? Also, do you have or recommend a video that goes over pulling the intake tubing off and cleaning it?
Lol. Yes the separator’s help but in the end the maintenance is the main thing. There is no videos that I know of removing the intake tubing and air intake box. I know a guy though 😉
@@bretstephensen8821 clean mine after every ride. The stock filters I've had traces of dust past the filter. Now I have a clean intake after every ride.
@@tahawknv4 You don't think that I have tested the R2C filters out? There is a full thread on the KRX forum that I posted about both the stock air filter and the R2C air filter letting dust past them. I know what I am talking about and can back up everything I say!
That’s actually not wild to hear. Most people in the racing world know that those filters do not hold up. Been racing off-road my whole life so I’m sure I had plenty of oil. Google it. Sorry.
@@fullaccessutv I did read around on google and it seems like there are conflicted stories.. Some say they let it past some don't.... On my 2013 Grizzly I will say K&N is the best filter I have used on that particular machine but I clean it and oil after a dusty ride.
Update :I put silicone in the three notches of the stock filter, let dry. Then added a piece of 2"x2" piece of foam weather stripping to the door to put pressure on the filter and closed the cove. Now the cover springs open quick when the locking spring are undone.

You are correct. And thanks for the purchase. The Uni filter was a mandatory thing for our rides. The stock filters
Thanks for this video Jake. I’ve had nothing but issues with dust getting into the intake with stock and R2C filters until I switched to a Baldwin filter. Like the Donaldson, it’s about a half inch longer than the stock filter and it works perfect, like it should.
I have the KWT particle separator and it does a good job cutting down the dirt/dust that gets into the airbox
That flip forward kit looks like it gives you full access to that filter. Great products and service!
Yes they do
what about a uni filter cover that go's over the stock filter or your filter?
This is 2 stage, so there is no need for a pre filter.
I agree, regret putting a k/n filter in my 2011 Polaris Xp900, destroyed my motor, never again!!!
great video Jake, what are your thoughts on a particle Seperator?
They help some, but it’s the fine dirt that is getting in and they still let that by. Just less
How did the shoe goo work out after testing it. Also I was wondering what you think of the Trinity washable filters thanks Mike

@@michaellindsay4762 they are oil foam filters. Not oil fabric like the K&n and others. The new uni we made is a clamp on. No push on issues.

Hey Jake, James here in Atlanta. I have many of the products you sell and you do a great job with keeping us KRX guys informed. What are your thoughts on the dry style R2C filter?
How could it be clean?

Nothing and it does not appear the grease is helping
How often should I replace the airfilter
We went to the uni filters we sell. There are a few videos on here about them.
Can you send me the link to the uni filter video thanks Mike
Preciate the info
What’s your opinion on the Wix #51358 it’s a little longer than the stock filter as well and I’ve always been under the impression that wix made great filters
Good video, appreciate all the time you put into them for us😎
what about using a little K&N filter grease around the intake side of filter?
tried that.
why not put a light layer of grease around the base which would stop silt coming through the base.
It may help. But in the end we realize the paper filter in. We have since gone to the UNI

Some people are like sheep and will follow each other off a cliff. I call them Sheeple.
Agree. However I think that’s way too involved for the average customer to do. These manufacturers need to come out with something ASAP.
I second that. I have moved on to a UNI. Made a small hole to tighten the filter clamp. No need for any goop.
@@peterkueffner747 Agreed. They make one that fits, but the media is still too small. However it works if you keep it clean.
I looked on UNI’s site and found one that was close , but the clamping side was 3.5” and from what I can tell the one needed is 3.25”. What UNI part number did you use? I really think a UNI mod might be the best option till they release something better.
Bret what the UNI part number?

How do you feel about K&N air filters or other washable air filters
did you not watch the video?
What about the Kraken? Updates?
soon hopefully.

What is the number on the Donaldson filter that u used. I like the fact that they are a little longer and having the pressure holding it in place
Listed in the link
I take some grease on my finger and rub it on the seals and been doing it a year now and no dirt in the air tract might be worth a try
we have tried it on all of them.
What about the washable air filters?
where? were waiting
@@fullaccessutv He is talking about the R2C Air Filters. Have fun with those!
@@bretstephensen8821 clean mine after every ride. The stock filters I've had traces of dust past the filter. Now I have a clean intake after every ride.

@@bretstephensen8821 👍
What about those prefilters that. Mount on the roof
they help, but knowing what your looking at and maintenance is most important.
I have always used k&n air filters with zero issues... Did you properly oil the k&n? That's wild to hear
That’s actually not wild to hear. Most people in the racing world know that those filters do not hold up. Been racing off-road my whole life so I’m sure I had plenty of oil. Google it. Sorry.
@@fullaccessutv I did read around on google and it seems like there are conflicted stories.. Some say they let it past some don't.... On my 2013 Grizzly I will say K&N is the best filter I have used on that particular machine but I clean it and oil after a dusty ride.
Why do the filters need the three notches? Seems like they are the main problem.
not sure, but the main issue is the center radial seal that is sucking the dirt from those notches.
Update :I put silicone in the three notches of the stock filter, let dry. Then added a piece of 2"x2" piece of foam weather stripping to the door to put pressure on the filter and closed the cove. Now the cover springs open quick when the locking spring are undone.
Have you tried adding some grease/DC4 to the inside of the filter opening to seal it to the tube? I think that's where I'd start.
We’ve been doing that for years. Just didn’t mention it in the video.
@@fullaccessutv I figured you probably had. You'd think that would be pretty effective against the leak by.
@@figureandfixit8066 I definitely did.
Maybe Donaldson can make one
Nevermind you answered my question LOL
