Filter experience on RG150

[enth]

Hi all.

Was just having a think if I'd get better or worse performance changing my current air-filter box to a pod filter on my 1998 Suzuki RG150?

Clean out the standard filter and leave it as is. Get 6F and buy modern 1000cc sports bike. Problem solved.

1) If you're riding it in Streetstock a mod like this is illegal. Check your rulebook. There is very little you can remove or change in Streetstock. Not sure even after that? Then apply the basic rule: If you want remove something it MUST be listed.
1) If you're riding on the road it will screw up heaps of things, including the natural resonance of the airbox. So it could easily go slower, even after re jetting.

The filter foam is now 14 years old and sometimes is has decayed and just falls to bits in your hands. So go to your local dirt bike shop and buy enough material to cut out a new one. Lube it up, fit and you're done. This is not illegal, as it's a generic equivalent. The MNZ rules provide for this given the bikes are so old now.
