    It doesn't - it makes his rev-counter read slow.

    I've heard that they can be problematic in wet weather. Well, for bikes like mine, anyway, with the air intake sticking out the side and exposed to the elements.

    A pod filter!
    With just a few mods more mods, you can pull some mean HP from the ginny - but a pod filter is a good start.

    You will only need a Shuffle 'pod for a GN250.

    the mods so far are... a slashcut shorty pipe (loud mofo), a rejet, Shiny shiny inside bits... thats actually about it... pod filter would be cool though, i suppose i could just take out the airbox and put the pod in where the airbox used to be, no fancy pipes or nuthin. hmm, Does anyone know the diameter of the Ginnies carb air intake?

    How about one of them Screamin Eagle filters side mounted like real bikes.....now that would get some attention (and go with the slash cut pipe)

    Make you own foam filters up, as suggested, using the existing paper element frame. Cut out the paper element, get some air filtration foam from pararubber( two grades available), cut to shape and glue in place of the paper element. Use appropreiate oil in the foam. Fit to bike and away you go.

    I've done three bikes for the replacement cost of an OEM filter so far.

    on standard settings a K&N won't make a great difference, but with an aftermaket exhaust system and/or a power commander then yep they are the go...the induction roar gets well tasty as well, the performance gain is really only top end...so hmmmmmm theres my two cents

    you can get any k and n filter from auckland mpower and sports in kyhber pass but i brought one for my r6 and the quality i thought was crap so i went and brought a DNA one and love it. made the ram air alot louder and it seemed to pull a bit better but that could be all in my head at the time
