Those mountings are for racing purposes...... It's not wise to use these unlike you like nuts and bolts start to loose up......

You want to go faster, change final gear but top speed will be affected......

Pot Holes

The pot holes at drain covers in KL are left by the contractors on purpose so that we can use our fancy TCS, DSC, and ABS to swerve around them at the last minute. In fact it is a government plan to reduce the number of motorcyclists by killing them, either as they crash into the holes or as they are hit by cars evading them. Maybe a few court cases agains DBKL for road death due to their negligence would improve the situation???

Is this the big filter type?? If it is, then listen to wat my SG fren's review on this.

Jetblast (soorie cos i put you up the avatar) has exeprience with this filter before. First thing you'll notice is that the filter has a wide surface for suction, thats good. But for the first few days, Jet felt the car is not in the smooth drive. Then he suspect the filter is not right, since thats the oni thing he changed lately. He tested it with Apexi filter, which is smaller than K&N. The outcome is good and more powerful and stable. Since then he sell it off and get Apexi.

He told me this last year August while he was tracking in Sepang.

Bigger air filter can cause lean air fuel ratio.
