Air Filter Replacement - Kawasaki Versys 650
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video, I would show how to replace the air filter of your Kawasaki Versys 650 motorcycle. The air filter in this bike is located under the fuel tank. The whole task can be finished in 30-45 min, needs some basic tool-set, someone to help (preferable), and some passion for DIY works on motorcycle.
The air filter's job is to keep filtering dust particles and let clean air inside the engine. However over time and more in dusty conditions, the filter gets clogged, which could lead to less air intake, resulting in poor performance of vehicle.
In my Versys bike the stock (factory fitted) air filter is paper-type, use-&-throw model. do not wash such paper / foam filters, else it will tear the membrane which would allow more dust to enter inside engine, creating damage. once in few months (depending on riding conditions), you can open the assembly and tap the air filter on surface to dust-off, or use gentle pressure air to blow away the dust. by such cleaning you may the continue usage of air filter, however after a stage the filter will get clogged and dirty - that time just get a new one.
tip - do this task when you have less fuel in tank, because lifting a full tank is bit difficult to carry the weight 😀
In this video I have replaced with HiFlo Air Filter, costed me INR 1999, refer the links :

On the same lines, the oil filters I have used on my bike are : HiFlo / Ison / ProFilter - 303 model (in all these brands, the model 303 is common).

What a major pain just to change the air filter! Thanks for the video.
Yes bit of pain, especially if you have a tank full of fuel !!!. Many adventure motorcycle have their air filter located way high, often under the tank.
You made my day with this video!!! I tried my best to find out how to find the 2 extra power outlets under the left cover and I was shortly about to drive crazy! Now I know, how to find them. Thanks a lot from Cologne, Germany
Im so glad that my video was helpful to you. you may explore my channel if any other video interests you. thanks & take care.

Thanks 😀👍🙌
What year model is that? Under side looks like it has some serious rust damage , maybe spray some antirust oil belowtank , i assume u live very close to sea?
2017 India model. Yes , Mumbai is surrounded by sea so things rust fast, bad. Later I had cleaned and applied paint on all key areas. 👍
merci d’avance de France
Thanks a lot. 👍🙌
Do i have to remove fuel from the tank?
its highly recommended to have less fuel in the tank, so that it'll be easy to lift the tank. a full tank it really a pain during this task :-)
U press start button and ride about 300 km ... problem solved .
Pro Tip #1 ;
Use Kawasaki Brand Air Filters, ONLY !
(Not Hi-Flo), and long live Kawasaki.
Kawa doesn't manufacture Air Filters (and other such things), so people are free to evaluate other options. In our region I found Hi-Flo at par quality however at lesser cost. Some even put specialy air filters like K&N / DNA / BMC. To each its own. Thanks for watching. 👍
@@PranavBhayani So, sorry to inform you of this, but,...I just replaced the Air Filter on my Versys 650 with a Kawasaki OEM AirFilter that I ordered from the dealership. They cost about $46 + tax, and you can order them Online, too. Fact; They protect your engine from corrosive debris, much better than (cheap) HiFlo Air Filters.
@@PranavBhayani Who makes Kawasaki OEM Air Filters ?
I bought my motorcycle, used. It came with a HiFlo Air filter installed. When I replaced it, I found grains of sand that it blocked, but on the other side, I also found just as much sand and also lots of small pieces of the filter, too. That means that the same type of material was being sucked into my engine.
(NOT GOOD) !
I have see people trying to wash a filter and refit - looks clean - BUT that damages the filter media , allowing debris to pass through. Just a thought. I didn't find any difference between a new filter from both these sources (Kawa workshop and HiFlo aftermarket).
Hi Pranav, thanks for the video
Please provide the information, where to buy the air filter.
Hi Dhawal. I got this filter from BikeNBiker online store www.bikenbiker.com/products/kawasaki-versys-650-spares-air-filter-by-hi-flo . This same is also available at CrossRoads, MotoUsher stores. Costed me INR 2000.
@@PranavBhayani Thank you Pranav :)
Hoe many kms before air filter change?
I don't remember now exactly, but around 12000 KM I changed the air filter. Maybe in the video itself I would have explained this bit. 👍
Hi Pranav, Greetings from Arizona USA! Great video! I have a 2015 Versys 650. What year is the one in the Video? I need to replace mine soon....
Hi, I have the 2017 model in India (based on 2015 design itself). thanks for watching my video. You could explore my channel if any other content interests you - including few videos about Versys. take care.
The air filter isn’t inside the tank, it’s underneath it!!!
Yes exactly. Maybe somewhere in video I may have did "slip of tongue" 😀👍✨

Thanks for reminding - I just updated the links in description. And thanks for watching the content, hope it was useful. You may explore other videos on my channel, and Subscribe if you like it. Take care. 👍
Owner of this bike, definitely not taking care of his bike.
Coastal weather in Mumbai makes difficult to maintain vehicles, especially rust catches early. Anyways I sold this one. 👍
@@PranavBhayani I understand, but this one , is too much.
So much corrosion on that bike!
Ya, Mumbai's weather is bad 🤦♂️
