Dude!! I just installed the exact same DNA package in my Interceptor 3 days ago and my reaction was the exact same as yours. Plenty of swears, smiles and giggles as I did a lap of my block. Hahaha
Awesome mate! A very good upgrade for very little money. Glad you were having as much fun as I was haha cheers for the comment mate!
@@roadblastmedia can U get DNA filter in aus
My theory is that RE deliberately strangled the intake to meet the lower HP requirements for the beginner class market in Europe. Between the upgraded air filter and free flowing exhaust, the 650 can really show its potential.
Excellent video. You're enthusiasm is infectious, mate! Best advert DNA ever had!
Haha cheers mate! Can't help it when it's a great product!
Motorcycle making music! Sounds wicked! RE is really making great steps forward the last few years! Watch out world! Love the shirt too. Never knew that "instant magnetic screwdriver" trick. Clever old fella. Excellent video. 👍👍
Sounds even better in person! Cheers mate hope you're well!
And he is very clever lots of tips and tricks up his sleeve I'll try feature him more he's very wise haha 😆
Hi Vinny ! I read quite a bit today about the DNA air filter. Yes they do seem a class act and cleaning them and re oiling using the DNA cleaner and oiler seems relatively straight forward. For the Royal Enfield should be what the doctor ordered.
Yeah mate they make some top quality filters really well priced too
It sounds phenomenal.i think you can get even more gains with a remap after exhasut and dna filter. That would be perfect.
Basically with a freeflow exhaust and air filter the bike then produces the same h.p. and torque at the rear wheel as it previously made at the crankshaft .
Just put this kit on my Royal Enfield Classic 350. It's a great addition for the money, and for sure, there's an improvement! Sound and pull are better than stock, so that's good enough for me!
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
Awesome mate! Happy riding!
07:08: from an e-mail sent me by DNA Sales Department
"Regarding our company, we do not collaborate with S&S Cycle. As a result , they do not sell our products It seems that they have created a 100% copy of the DNA High Performance Filter."
Just ordered mine today 😀 thanks for the review!
Nice one bro!
Like the shirt I want the Made like a Gun brass pin.
Cheers bro! We actually have that brass pin haha 😆
@@roadblastmedia C.A.I Cold Air Induction bro I even have in my Holden Ute & it sounds awesome for a V6 like a whine noise from a supercharger.
@@ruahinesrider Look after your Holden Ute big time my ole matey. Shall eventually be a collectors piece. Back in the day I had an 1966 HR dark green / white model. Is your Holden stock as these are the ones that will really hold their values ?
@@johnmartin7158 My Ute is a 2002 vy series 1 & is stock but I got another dash & painted silver like a V8 model & a SS V8 grill & M.S.D ignition & leads & 1:9.1 higher ratio rockers to give a kick up the arse for passing cars but I still have all original parts & is a sleeper V6 no mags not lowered & Cold Air Induction & sounds awesome with C.A.I whine.It only has done 150k too which is rare for a utility that's 20years old could do with a respray at some point to make it super mint but no dents.
I also owned a bronze hq sedan back in 1998 I wished I kept it was straight as & a 202 with a port & polished planed head & headers & straight pipe be worth a packet, definitely regret selling big time.
I have the filter with Hitchcock straight through pipes and Lextec exhausts. The weight saved and the bottom to midrange power boost is very noticable. Plus it sounds epic!
Nice mate! Cheers for the comment!
No worries, just off for a ride out now, early morning, sun and quiet roads! @@roadblastmedia
After watching this video decided to get same air filter what a difference well worth it more grunt to avoid idiots driving in essex uk
Nice one mate! A 2 into 1 exhaust really goes well with the air filter aswell! 😉
Thumbs up for the lovely NZ accent!
Haha thanks bro! Cheers for the comment! 🤙
Were you expecting an American accent being in NZ? Bikes are being discussed n not bloody accents!
I think any performance change is wishful thinking but it’s fun to play with these bikes anyway. The S&S filter is a rebranded DNA.
It's more tourqe especially in mid range.1 HP max but 5-6Nm.It is noticable too but it is more about modifying & with slip on's & booster plug there is a huge difference especially with 6-7kg weight reduction with the slip on's.
@@ruahinesrider ok agree to disagree. A higher flowing air filter doesn’t do anything if air filter flow isn’t the impediment to more gas flow. On the Enfields the biggest choke point is the stock headers. So not much is going to happen until you change those. Agree that less weight is good. I switched my airfilter with stock exhaust made no difference except for louder and not very nice sounding intake honk. S&S silencers add a small boost to midrange which I can feel and S&S has the dyno chart before and after to prove.
@@morri03 Hahaha..Most definitely the biggest choke hold is the double skirted headers with a weight of 9-10 kg it's all about the look keeping those chrome pipes chrome with no golding or blueing like you would off 2-1 or 2-2 big bore headers & that is where you make the biggest gains as you said.A rounder diameter header will definitely give it a kick in the pants & being single skirted equates to a massive weight saving a 2-1 is a 13kg saving & 2-2 is a 10 kg saving which is a significant loss in weight.Depends on what you prefer 2-2 big bore look better I think but 2-1 has the performance.Get a high end 2-1 such as Varex in Tasmania you will have the best of both worlds with their high quality finish no restrictions as S&S look good but have 2 high flow cats to be legal in USA & drop them in a few hp & weigh .5-1kg more.Also which country you in to as laws differ. Chuck a Lithium battery & save another 2kg minimum grab rail etc..If I sat lightly on your chest you can breathe but when I stand up you get alot more glorious air flow.So big bore headers & weight loss plus all the smaller mods such as high flow air filter booster plug to richen it up you have free flowing air breathing bike which equals horsepower & more importantly torque.
@@ruahinesrider all true although the biggest issue with the header aside from the bore is the cats in them. My S&S pipes are the ‘race only’ version with no cats
@@morri03 That's what I have too is the S&S Race only slip on's did you get in from Experience motorcycles in Auckland Morri
Talk HIM into Booster Plug you reckon.. hahaha 😁😆😂🤣
I got a DNA filter for my RE Meteor 350, and there's a noticeable difference. While it doesn't turn it in to a superbike, it pulls better in all gears, including fifth. With the stock filter and airbox cover, it didn't really pull in fifth; now, it does. Plus it sounds a lot better. With the DNA filter, my Meteor actually feels like it can breathe! It's as if it said, "Ahhhh..." :)
I looked first to see if K&N made a filter for my Meteor, but they don't. I went with DNA, and I'm glad I did! BTW, DNA tested the filter from a Kawasaki (I can't remember which model though); they tested the stock filter, one from K&N, and one of theirs. Theirs did the best, even beating out the K&N by 10-12 CFM. SO! When it came time to replace the filter on my car, I went with DNA instead of K&N. I figure every CFM I can get to the engine is well WORTH IT! The DNA filter sure woke up my Focus... :)
Awesome mate good to hear! Royal Enfields are very restricted from factory so it's nice to open it up a bit! 🤙
Awesome! You noticed any difference in fuel consumption? Hug from Portugal!
Nah man I didn't notice any difference just a difference in power! Cheers for the comment mate! 🤙
I noticed an improvement when I fitted the K&N on my Interceptor ,, sounds great as well .
Don't forget to let the bike idle for at least 12 minutes with ZERO !!! throttle after fitting to allow the ECU to self adjust ,, it makes a huge difference . If you have not done this just re-fit the standard one , idle for 12 minutes , refit the DNA/K&N and again idle for 12 minutes ,, this stops the bike having a brain freeze , popping on idle , etc .
Yup we did 15 minutes zero throttle goes bloody wicked! Hope you're well mate 🤙
Yeah I hassled HIM about the 12min ECU Recalibration.hahaha
Nice video sir! Was there a change insound of the engine/exhaust? Did it sound louder with the airfilter installed? Hope you answer back sir.😁
Thanks mate! And yes there was you can hear an audible rush of air through the intake when you gas it I think the difference would be more noticeable with a quieter exhaust system as the lextec pipes are very loud. Cheers for the comment!
ThankYou Vinnie ✌️
Cheers Daniel!
Ordered mine came in this week. Forgot the bracket! Next week!!!
Nice mate! You can use washers to keep it held in so not to worry! 🤙
On the alloy plate ,,, FFS $106 for my K&N and they wanted another $69 for that plate ! bugger that , I made my own for 0$ ...
Haha that's fair enough it Is only a piece of metal pretty over priced for what it is. We got ours in a combo deal so was a bit cheaper than $69 but still pricy 🤙
Three washes was it.👍👍
@@ruahinesrider Yes , I did 3 washers for a week and it worked well until I knocked up the plate at work , I will do a small video tomorrow showing it ,, from a cardboard template to making it at work and it fitted perfectly ! a win , win yes !
@@Beanerds Metal I hope I've seen 3d printed one's & they break after a few months.
Hey, nice video! Is it also worth it to install this for the stock exhaust?
Cheers mate yeah id say it would be worth it!
If only RE had thought of that, fancy being able to release all that extra horsepower for virtually nothing. You should dyno it and quantify the extra horsepower.
I guess they have to restrict it from factory to be compliant with emissions standards and be learner approved. It isn't a major increase but It definitely feels like the bike has woken up a bit. I am keen to get my continental GT on the Dyno as it has the air filter and a 2 into 1 full exhaust system so am very keen to see the gains in power as it is very noticeable while riding! Cheers for the comment mate! 🤙
Wanna get me one of them!
Well worth the money! Order one up now shouldn't take too long to arrive 😆
@@roadblastmedia my Enfield precision exhaust have just arrived, got them on already, might have to brave the rain for a quick wet ride.
@@julianperry5141 wicked mate! Let me know how they go
@@julianperry5141 Great one must be stoked about Hitchcocks slip on's now you need Hitchcocks oil cooler guard & chain guard for matching set unless you already got guards of any type.Definitely get air filter.Then booster plug.R.E.A hahaha 😁🤣
@@ruahinesrider definitely the air filter and booster plug. The exhaust is heaps better, went for a quick blast and heaps better on the ears.
Jeez,
I was cringing watching you guys placing the painted finish side of the side cover on the ground!
Good way to scratch the shit out of it!
Anyway, I have the same filter on my 2019.
You might consider installing a Booster Plug as well.
Well it is carpet outside haha 🤣 it never scratched it but i do see your point
@@roadblastmedia Oh well, that's different!
Lol, carry on.
@@hansoor8719 yeah man haha i cracked up when my dad put the carpet outside but its garage carpet so holds up to the elements and keeps the dust down easy to clean too! 😀
@@roadblastmedia Yeah, I guess you can just vacuum the driveway 😂
@@hansoor8719 haha exactly that usually use one of those leaf blower vacs does the trick
Love from India
Cheers bro!
bro cancelled the signals like 50 times🤣🥰
Haha ive stopped doing that since this video but was a bad habit i had after i almost got hit by a car for forgetting to cancel bro 🤣 better safe than sorry
Is changing air filter is enough, or should the exhaust system be changed as well for better performance?
Exhaust system aswell for best results plus it sounds so much better!
Do you need to have a free flow or aftermarket exhaust for this filter or can we use this with stock exhaust too?
You can use with stock exhausts no problem
@@roadblastmedia another question.. is it safe to use the free flow plate on top of the air filter or should I use the stock air filter cover thing ?
@@souskumbhar totally safe to use the free flow plate. Thats what makes all the difference!
have you / are you changing the restrictive down pipes ?
One day hopefully mate it's pretty sweet as it is but we are keen to do that at some point cheers for the comment mate it's a great idea!
when you ride it looks like you turn the blinker on and off. Are you signaling?
Haha nah mate bad habit from a while back almost got hit by a car because I forgot to turn off my blinkers and I've gotten in the habit of always hitting the button now trying to break the habit but it's proving difficult 😂
Did you make any changes to the fairing? Cutouts?
Nope kept those all stock just changed the air flow restricter to an open one mate
any thoughts about sprint air filter?
Hey mate ive never had any experience with them but from my experience as long as its good quality all the performance air filters no matter the brand will give the same results
Bro when you are going to modify your gt ?
Already have the exhaust and filter waiting until I get to 1000ks before I put them in bro
Has anyone done a tune on their 650 after air filter and exhaust, and do you find it necessary?
We never tuned ours apart from letting the bike self tune. Im sure you would notice a wee bit of difference after a tune but we were more than happy without doing it. Bike rides amazingly and hasnt skipped a beat 7000kms later
@@roadblastmedia that's awesome and great to hear! Save me a bunch of money by not tuning it lol
Y u keep touching the indicator switch
Haha habits bro
im thinking to install the sc project S1-GP mufflers with this air filter...could anyone say anything about this experiment? hahaha
Go for it man! You can only have good results
Made like a gun goes like a Bullet
Well said mate!
@@roadblastmedia this was the slogan of legendary Royal Enfield Bullet
where'd u get the fly screen?
We ordered it through our dealership but you can get them from lots of places online
Can we get bna filter in aus
Yes I ordered mine from an online store based in aus
Interciptor? 😲
Yuup 😀
Does your Daddy do everything for you? Love your old man's safety flip-flops - obviously he has never dropped heavy tools on his feet.
My Dad likes making videos with me. He does not do everything for me. I used to work full time at a spray painting business when I made this video now I work full time as a motorcycle mechanic and salesman. My Dad has run his own Business for over 20 years and does wear proper safety equipment when hes actually using heavy tools not a bloody socket set. Get a life mate
Maybe he is clever enough and skilled enough not to drop shit.
