Air Filter Foam

[Pixie]

I bought some foam from Pararubber in Carr rd Auckland.
They brought in a whole sheet from Dunlop foams for me as it was oil resistant foam,so they still have a lot left.
It's called T50 filter foam and is item G20 on their system.
I got 500mm x 1200mm for $25.

There are two kinds of polyurethane foam;one is oil resistant but is degraded by moisture.
And the other is moisture resistant and is degraded by oil.
For oil/foam filters you need the former (T 50)

Foam filters may be cheap but they aren't very good performance wise. I ditched my tired air filter in my zxr and replaced it with foam. My bike ended up being 0.2 - 0.3 sec and 5-10kph slower on the 1/4 mile.

Funnily enough I don't worry too much about my standing quarter times on this 'vicious beast' of a bike (Cindy to the kids). I must say that it runs a lot better with an intact foam filter than with 80 % missing (which must have flowed more air). Will have to check the plugs in a day or so to make sure it's not running rich....now that all that air is being slowed down.
