I own a few motorcycles like the KTM Duke 390, KTM RC 390, Suzuki GSXR 1000, Suzuki GSX 1100F and Yamaha R1. I love DIY on my motorcycles. My Facebook Page: www.Facebook.com/Vikas.Rachamalla

What about the dust particles entering?
Pore size difference??
You are absolutely correct. Excess dust going into the engine is also an issue.
I gave it 0 out of 10 for offroading. as this airfilter remains open under ur seat it got covered with lot of dust and mud during off roading.i used rc1060 k&n filter on my ns200.during one of my offroad ride mud got stuck on this airfilter and after that i am not able to start my bike for 3 hrs cauz the lack of proper air going inside. so i think stock is best.☮️☮️☮️🙏
Your issue, clean it with the reachable kit
Abhilash thakur, fz is a carburetor run motorcycle, up jet and clean every 2k kms you will never have a problem
Tejas Iyengar bro same issue it's open under seat so I find it difficult during rainy season so would it be good to again install stock filter and once done with rains I will switch back to k&n !! And after the filter swap I will tune the carb by adjusting the AFR . so is it ok to go back to stock for 3-4 month by re adjusting the AFR for the stock filter ?
Why do you talk so slow? Watching the vid at 1.25x speed and it sounds normal
Ganesh Wadhwa 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂lol it works
Thnx... !!!!!
It does work. He he
It works😂😂
even though I am a mechanical engineer, I can't explain this simple to a layman about working of this filter.
👏👏👏👏👐for Vikas Bhai
Back paper boy
Bro you become teacher ...you will definetly rock.
Finally cement road in front of your home 😂 been waiting for this since ages
Is it safe in rainy season in scooty, bcz some one said me it is not safe in rainy season.
I had a Pulsar 220 which I rode for more than 5 years. I used the Stock replacement air filter from K&N just because i wanted to use something new and better product than before(sponge filter). But surprisingly i found a little bump on the early rpms to the higher mid range and the bike was a bit smoother than before. Also i got a avg fuel consumption of around 40kmpl even in summer times . Note: I did change my spark plugs too from stock to the Iridiums from Ngk. That might have helped too.. Nice Video Vikas. That was informative.
does stock replacement affect the engine life?
Shuvrojyoti Kar bro. It will but in a positive way. As the name suggests its a perfect replacement of your stock air filter. The material is way more classy and also the air passages are better than sponges. Therefore it is possible that you get a slight more air inlet than the stock sponges of the bajaj pulsar 220. Mine worked perfect. Im thinking to re do it on my current cbr 250r
Even a stock replacement can also be used as a free flow airfilter, only thing is to remove the top cover of the air filter box. But cone airfilter is totally rubbish, to fix the cone air filter we have to remove the entire airfilter box and the cone filter is directly fitted to carburettor which is very unsafe because it can't be maintained easily for cleaning and other stuffs... So over all stock replacement is best and easy to maintain.
Kishore Kishi not in all cases
Remapping is not always required IF you have a fuel injected motorcycle you need to check the operation of its existing range and if your Intake pushes in more than the ECM can handle then and only then you need to remap, otherwise, it is not needed. As a general observation on Yamaha R15, the ECM easily compensates for the increased inputs (Mind you the "Free flow" intake from K&N does not extravagant air into the system than a stock filter). Now if you have a performance motorcycle then you should probably take it to a garage and do a proper observation. For commuter bikes under 2 Lacs Remapping is not required. Refer to this document. www.knfilters.com/dynocharts/YA-1208.pdf
sir what about for my RE thunderbird 350 X , is carburetor remapping required ?
Akshay SeKHaR My best guess would be nope, you don't need to. But jetting by yourself is not as easy as flashing a ECU. But don't take my word for it.. just check with service station or any RE forums out there..
Shobin p bro some say that conical shape air filters allows more dust but some say it purifies dust and send clean air so is conical filter safe to use? I've been using k and n conical filter in my rs 200 since a year and confused please tell me bro
Obviously any performance filter will allow more air/dust into the engine and in the long run can be bad for your engine. That's what performance filters are designed to do. Now that is in theory. In practice, I have seen many 150CC motorcycles running on filters for years without a problem. So unfortunately not me or anyone can give you 100% correct advice on this. Its just the probablity of you getting an issue or not.
Shobin p thank you for the fast reply bro
Bosch motronic ECUs which come with all KTM bikes can be reset to changed running conditions due to free flow airfilters by keeping the bike idling for 15 mins without the need of remapping....just make sure you are in open space as the bike heats up while doing this...
Wow! You explained this amazing. I have a Can Am Ryker and recently it started making noise I took it in and they told me my transmission is shot. They said it got too hot. I was like how can that be, I thought K &N filters were good. Your video explained it so well. I found this video from typing in "K&N air filter ruined my motorcycle engine" 😒🙏🏾
This video should be watched by all youths who are trying to replace stock air filter with free flow air filter cone. Thanks
Thank you so much. You took my 5 mins, but you saved my Rs.3500/- for air filter, and My R15V3's engine. God bless you brother.
I love my bike, I like it the way she is.
I've installed cone K&N back in 2018 for my R15 V2, initially 2 full tanks the mileage decreased drastically, but after that the bike until now is running fine without any problem and I've not done any mappings
Vikas uncle you are awesome! I have gained knowledge than ever. Thanks.
Dude can you make a video on iridium spark plugs
Thank you Vikas Sir, bahot aache se samjhaya aapne. 🙂 🙏
Most awaited information video , thanks vikash vai for sharing . :) 👍👍👍
Man I just love the simplicity of your videos.
Nice jeep bro ( white color) . Nice informative video bro. 👍
Hahha.... Need a ride₹
My first comment to Vikas rachamalla sir.
Every time I saw any video about any subject of you I have no doubt on that topic.Thank you .🤩🤩
It is more harmful or less harmful
I have installed in my r15 v3
If it is harmful so i have to remove this filter
Plz reply
Good insight for beginners. Bro what would you suggest for a Duke 390 2018 model ? Which air filter and do we have to remap the ECU ?
Brother I want to ask about exhausts I mean what is the difference between original akrapovic exhaust which cost around more than 70000₹ and the one which we get around 4000-5000₹ in our local markets
Is the cheap exhausts are harmful for engines??
As always you’re awesome sir, missed you all these days
Please make video on R15 V3........
Hi vikaas bro... That spongy brake technique worked like gem...thanks for that info video
Thanks bro
Yaa my bikes front brake are becomes spongy and after using this technique it becomes crisp
Very informative video bhaiyya. The spongy brake technique worked brilliantly ! Thanks for all these informations
Just to be clear , the stock replacement k&n filter let's more air enter unless the airbox has restrictions (because the k&n filter is larger then my stock filter) but the sound stays the same
Very informative video like some of your other videos. You have done videos on Gear shops. Can you also cover the best shops in Hyderabad that does bike modification, steering and not only stock bike accessories but also fixes the same on your bike.
Sir do we still need to rejet the carburettor in case of carburettor bikes if we install only a stock replacement air filter or is it really not that necessary?
Thank you so much for providing the right info because when i used a POD filter or cone K and n filter in FZ v1 then i just completely broke my engine. This has happened with em before so i know all the problem. But now all the things with you said are right just putting a pod filter will kill the engine and the performce will go down for sure 100 percent.
love from pakistan always wait for your videos vikas 😘
Finally Gixxer Sf is launched in Pakistan... @ Moto Mania Pk

Very useful and informative. Thanks.
Hello, as you said, when I install K&N air filter, more air goes to the engine. So, is it logical to to just tune the Carburetor of NS 200 such a way that a bit more fuel goes to the engine?
Will my engine stay safe then?
Felt so bless with the much awaited info.. thanks.
Thanks Vikas bro surly this will help our new born riders who just simply took out stock one and uses these kind of air filters for more agressive performance but they are just damaging there bike's engine nothing else. Hope now they have answers what actually they are doing .👍
You always provide a spot on information , well done !
Oh my god..thank you bro
So..stock is always good for engine
Sir if i remap my motorcycle while putting this airfilter is it safe for my bike engine?
THANKS.. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON ECU MAPPING..HOW IT WORKS AND WHAT ARE ITS PROS & CONS?
Can we just adjust the airfuel ratio screw given on carborater to make mixture moderate?
Thanks Vikas for this so important video. I was using a K&N air filter since long time and my bike use to heat up in traffic. I own a RS 200 and facing this issue since a long time now. I'll try remapping. I know you are from Mumbai, but do you have any friends in Mumbai who does engine remapping.
Which sounds better? K&n 1060 or 1100!!! As i have k&n 1060 n going 4 2012 this time
Brother is it required to remap after installing free flow airfilter now also because they tell that now ECUs are adaptive ?
Silencer v change karna parega jayda air ghusega jay da petrol jayega too silencer v change karna parega?
Thanks it's really helpful knowledge 👍
vikas bro..but suppose rather than corn air filter, I'll put flat(looking like stock air filter) k & n air filter than...is it safe..?
All.these explainations are same for the k and n replacement air filter too?
How to remap ecu?
Can you explain what is remap! And where can it be done! How much does it cost and everything related to it!
Explained so nicely , thanks bro .
sir eagerly awaiting for your apache 310 review and its comparison with dominar....I am looking forward to get a new bike apache or dominar, with the sole purpose of going everywhere in INDIA on it.....please provide your view....also I am not sure how on every video apache 310 is beating dominar on pickup and top speed part (is it only because of their weight to power ratio?) .... i am waiting waiting waiting waiting.......
So if I have a k&n air filter it would not spoil my bike right ??
I have ordered a stock replacement K&N air filter for my 2014 Duke 390....will I have to do any tunings or have to install the powertronic ecu?? ...I've seen many other reviews and it made me even more confused..what shall I do? will it harm the engine or do any change in performance if I just install the stock replacement K&N filter without any tunings? PLZ REPLY
Hi vikas, would you be changing the air filter on your interceptor?
sir which is best paddock stand for ktm rc 390.. i knew u have uploaded one video related to this but i cannot able to find it out.. plzz suggest me sir. @Vikas Rachamalla
Is it necessary to replace the stock air filter to the performance airfilter while installing performance exhaust to NS200 carborated one ?
Hi,
I have KTM Duke 200 (2013) pls suggest which Air filter should I go for..
Like always vikas sir valuable motor advice .
love your entrance bro 😋
Excellent Explanation Man. Thanks for clarification.
Bro i had installed k&n filter which you have shown in the video. After installing this is Apache RTR 180. I got lots of problem. Lots of smoke started coming from silencer. After I replaced it from to stock it's quite good now. But less change in pick-up
Does putting “stock replacement” filter will also need to remap with fuel flow ?!
hi sir how did you make a way with the hose from engine to stock air filter housing lts like a oil return din you condemn it ?
I will always believe a sounth indian guy over a north one. Thanks for saving lives.
Can you please provide me a valid link to buy the original k&n filter and piggyback ecu?
Stock replacement k&N filter make loud sound or not??? Like conical ones??
Hi bro.... Hope u n ur family doing good..

If you have to pick cruiser or fully fared SuperSport which you will personally choose
Nice info vikas very less youtuber give genuine advice keep up the good work.
Thanks brother
Hope you are subscribed. Thank you
You have damn good knowledge about bikes.
Thank you vikas bhai.. very useful information it is...
ty vikas bhai this information really helped
Also dust gets in
Urban myths finally answered properly. Thank you Vikas Sir!!
Where is the maping of ECU done?
In general garrages or only authorised bike service centre?
Is this any other way to do ECU from simple techniques?
The information provided in this video is not 100 percent accurate. A stock replacement airfilter is also free flow however it's called stock replacement because it plug and play and no mods are required to install them and on the other hand engines which do not have stock replacement filters available they can use these conical ones commonly called as Universal Air filters.
Vikas, you need to do a video about how to deal with corrupt cops who stop and accuse you of racing just because you have a fancy helmet and gear on while on a big bike. Like the minimum need-to-know rights to be known and the procedure and reasons for seizing the vehicle. Based on HeartBrokenBiker's latest video.
Hmm air filters for this bike are square right? I'm i missing something..?
First I would like to thank you for the DIY vids you make, much informative and appreciate it , But please do use a tripod for the camera it will make the video better and make it look not amateurish..... please take this suggestion as from your fan....
Awaiting for your dominar experience from your leh trip that you had said that you will make later...plz provide a detail experience
I have fitted the k& n filter on my bullet directly to the carb . It is exposed outside . Now people are saying that’s the filter get ruin if I ride in wet condition or get very dusty soon. Is it really bad fitting it outside ? Please advise
Im owning a new 2018 duke 250 and getting a milage of 25..
I need to improve sound....planning to change exaust or change airfilter to k&n which would be good for my bike?
NB. Without effecting milage
Will the stock replacement K&N filter produce more sound? 🤔
U deserve a lot more subscribers !ur Very informative sir
How much was the cost of your bike garage shed??
bro can you do review of bajaj pulsar 200 ns
If I use stock replacement k&n air filter, will it damage engine because some says it has larger pores than stock one
In r15 we have the chance to keep k&n and keep the stock air filter too
Is it safe??
Very well explained sir, thank you
