[ingyin]

Hi, I just got my KNN installed today. Cant feel much difference cos also did carb servicing. but, just like other new KNN users, how do we actually clean or recharge the filter and at what interval? Thanks in advance.....

[noisvi]

You have to get a Recharger Kit (Cleaner) for cleaning a Airfilter, there are two buttom in a kit, there is a full detail show how to do with them. Basicly, about 10000 Km for a next cleaning.

underneath the oil tank. therefore, got to take out the oil tank before you can reach your air filer.

is this for all versions of S4 or vtecs and abv?

[kktan]

dismantle oil tank??? sounds tideous.anyone DIY here before>> ?? can show how??

The Air-filter for Ver S is located at the left side of the bike. (Gear shift side). You got to remove the black in color plastic cover that pop out a little. Just beside the fuel switch. If you look carefully, it is only one screw attach to it inside, a small screw. Take that out, then you will see three hexagon nut, remove the three, then take out the cover. There you are the air filter !!! jus pull it out can liao.

 

But for other model I dun know liao.

typical questions again,

 

i wan to install knn air filter . and i feel that my bike needs to do tuning too. reason bike vibrates right before the clutch fully released. ( only happens if i release fuel therottle slowly)..anyone encounters this??

 

2) is it compulsory to wash the carb in order to do tuning??

 

3) how much of freeplay is allowed on the chain?? where is the best place in north or west to do all the three things??

 

mine is 1.5 years ole abt 15k mileage.specII

[Guest jane71]

what's a knn filter,. should i replace the stock one on my bike??

[ValenYono]

KNN is a brand. This filter can be reuse many time over, but not sure how long can really last (pls ask the more experience bikers here). Maybe after about 2-3 engine oil change, u can ask the mech to give the air filter a blow, to remove any dirt particle stuck in the filter, and can be use again, unlike the stock ones cannot last.

 

Since u mention earlier (in another thread) dat ur bike is 4mths old, so can wait a while longer before changing.

 

Browse our sticky topics on the component cost, ur guys in here had been very active updating watever component price they found at diff shops.

[Guest jane71]

4 months since my fren passed it to me. the bike is 1++years old. i believe he did not do much maitenance except. washing and changed oil.

i don't think is a good idea to use air pressure gub to blow on a K&N filter.This way it will damage the wool.

recently installed KNN filter. But not sure how to go about cleaning it or servicing. Any experts can enlighten me?

[gene36]

KNN Air Filter: Just change it today...

 

For cleaning and washing of it, i don't know how to do it but would reconmend to let the bike shop do it...

 

It cost me abt 75bucks.(can be reused by washing and cleaning)

Stock Air Filter abt 35SGD (use once only)

 

But to remove air filter, oil tank must be remove...

 

Neccessary to wash carb when doing tuning, today the uncle just told me only... when doing tuning, you need to do 'something to the carb' (i missed out that part as it was too noisy... but he ended when, "better if can do servicing of carb when doing tuning"

[vtec1]

LAB also sell the KNN filter cleaner about $15. Quite easy to wash the filter actually and it also state that do not use a blower to blow dry the filetr as it will be damaged.

 

What i usually do is get a spare cheap filter frm LAB (abt $15) then while i take out my KNN to clean at home, in the meantime i use the spare air filter.

 

When drying the washed KNN filter, i put in in front of the fan.

 

Whole cleaning ang drying process about 1- 2 hrs.

 

Hope this helps.

:cheer:
