Bikes: 916SPS Ratbike + 749R Shed

Mood: Ugly girls (749) are more dirty.....
I have a dilemma related to this - I recently got a 916SPS that came with "bling" C/F airtubes that have no provision for standard filters. Bike is therefore fitted with a JHP undertank filter. On my previous 748, I tried out a JHP filter and wasn't impressed so went down the Pipercross route instead.
I would ideally like to get rid of the JHP filter on the SPS but don't want to get rid of the bling airtubes! Any recommendations?

The horsepower increase that you got by removing the RamAir airbox filter is partially due to the increased airbox volume that's no longer being displaced by the filter.

To illustrate this effect, here's a graph that shows the effect of increased air box volume on a 996 using a EVR airbox. Note particularly the smoothing-out of the dip in the torque curve.



So if you're unable to use Pipercross filters in the air runners like RickyX, using BMC filters will probably result in the smallest volume reduction and least degradation to throttle response.



You can read the full explanation here:

Ricky i got a set of these when i first got the R. Like you I wanted to fit carbon tubes. They are not cheap, If memory serves me right about £130 - 150.00. I went for then against the pipercross ones, because I didn't need to alter the fuel lines. I still had to remove the airbox to fit the filter carriers.
I had seen them in one of the bike mags. Try a search under BMC filters. And then look for a stockist. Mine was done through mail order.

BTW. thay are not meant for road use

Airfilters

During rebuilding my 748R and using carbon tubes, i looked into the airfilter options, I saw the JHP pipercross ones but you had to arse about with the fuel line, and they were expensive. So after looking about on the net i saw a guy had a NO TOIL filter fitted, to his 748R, so i ordered one for mine, was about £60 works well and you dont have to modify the fuel lines!

I have a brand new set of these filters, if anyone is interested. £20.

I was going to install them in my RS when it was still on the road, but now that I am racing it only, I don't run any filters.
