You'll get the best flow out of a DT1 filter, ideal for supermoto. I'd recommend a Uni filter for off-road.

Fuel/Air ratio is quite critical, especially in a small single cylinder engine. You might be amazed at the difference a filter can make on the dyno.

[cossie cal]

the best for both is an twin air air filter

RUMotarded is right, the air filter is the start of your entire engine, its where everything begins. If you have got any mods after a standard filter they are probably no good or not near full potential as the starting point is still the same/restricted.

[haveagoade]

A good filter has the largest surface area for a given size of filter,its all about getting the smallest possible particles filtered out of the air whilst allowing air to travel through easily , a contradiction in aims really.They are all the same really, what keeps your performance at a Peak is a CLEAN air filter, a clean cheapo is gonna give a dirty expensive trick filter a whooping everytime.

all i can say is dont get foam filters they rip on the rubber, i know there pretty cheap but alot of hassle if it keeps happening. jay

[Ferret]

A lot of lads seem to be running no filters, or funnels which are supposed to do a job but risk crap entering yer motor:) Some have gauze which stops some, but not as restrictive as foam filter;)

Something like that would do the trick but for dirt i use UNI filter

[Ferret]

RCF50 Rep of CRF 50 i airbox would be great if you could get a big enough one, one from a 50 is way to small

So do you run the DT 1? I'm running just the standard chinese foam at the mo will I notice a difference? I only do Supermoto...

[fireblade7]

you can buy my k&n style one, £11 including postage cost me £16 new, oly used about 6-7 times

Air Box's Are Great... My Mates Puma Has Got A Foam Filter On It And When Ever He Goes Through A Puddle He Straight Away Gets Water Into The Carb. I Can Go Raring Through Puddles/Mud Without Having My Bike Bog Out And Die On Me!:p

If you want power you should use a "ram-air" filter, it the same idea as a super charger but it doesnt need power, its basically a tube pointing forward to force air into the carb with a thin filter on the end (no good for off road) but these give the most air in to the bike with out using power from the engine to suck air in. Theres a pic of one on the attachment thing. There some times called intake stacks.

Is it ok to turn the carb around on any pitbike and run it like that? Do you have to put bigger jets in due to the increased air? I had been thinking about this already as the road race bike do it.

Where did you get the tube bit?

thanks

[dan-mel]

Im not to shure, the pic isnt my bike it just i knew my dad use to have ram air on one of his full size bikes a long time ago and he told me all that stuff you will probly get one of the pipes off e-bay or theres one here but its quite expensive http://www.stompracing.co.uk/performance_parts.html this is the website where i got the pic.

I would have thaught you will need bigger jets to get the balance right but im not too shure.

[sam.pitbikes]
