Ramair replacement filter.

Wow $107.00 dollars just for the filter? Really seems kind of expensive. No better price i have no options but to pay. My filter is shot after cleaning a few times. Plus it has a rubbed mark from the bear claw on the foam. My fault did not have the bearclaw installed correctly or a screw or two came loose. Go figure. If someone has found a better price please let me know.

How many miles between cleans are you giving it? - purely out of interest. Do you use RAMAIRS "goo" or oil?

Use the Ramair products. Have about 30,000 mile on the filter and it ain't looking to good. I think I have cleaned it three times.

Interesting. I have about 10K on this one and it still looks clean. I originally had the very first prototype on my beast and that was only ever cleaned once. tbh I wanted to keep the original but RamAir insisted on upgrading me.

The reason I asked about the oil was that I have a custom ITG filter (The RamAir predecessor) and that uses ITG filter oil - It is basically filthy even when freshly cleaned and oiled.

Mine looks Nasty even after cleaning. Would rather spend the money and replace. Peace of mine am sure.

I’m interested in going the Ramair route, better breathing etc. I’ve seen a very good vid on fitting one, so no real issues there - my question to existing users is - what is the induction noise like with one fitted?
Had a zx9r a few years ago - great sound from the air box . Also, I like the standard Roadster exhaust sound - not loud but with pops and rumbles on the overrun, so I’m not fussed on changing it. Or does someone have a compelling argument for change (gas flow match to new filter, less weight, ???)

Hello. Ramair and Paul's three into one is music to my ears. Plus a lot more grin factor. Not that much into the technical aspect but do enjoy the ride

 

[sijtwin]

Who is Paul ? Bike owner , exhaust maker , both ? Just listened to new exhaust video on here. Great sound
but not what I’m looking for

 

[sonny]

Both. Nice and peaceful sound until you hit it. Check out Viking exhaust.

Ok. Will do. Not heard about that one,
