I plan on doing a How-to, to install a K&N air for a ruckus in the groms stock air box.

I plan on removing the air filter from the plastic housing and glueing in the K&N filter.

TotalRuckus ? View topic - kn drop in air filter

Much like this on page two.

And thoughts?

Why don't you just drop in the DNA Filter? It flows almost twice as much as stock.

This is very interesting - the first I've seen for drop ins. But its over $100 in USD! Any better sources for this DNA filter?

 

[Remould]

Yeah, that's a bit expensive.
As I'm in the UK, it's a bit cheaper for me. The filters are made in Greece so I guess you need to pay more for shipping.
My one was £47 (roughly $77).

10,000% mark up LOL

Sorry to thread-jack, but it is in the original intent of this thread! Remould did you notice a gain, in seat-the-pants feel when you installed this filter? Any sound difference? Their webpage shows a definite flow difference but I am always skeptical until proven otherwise.

I would,
but over $100 is way too much.

 

[Remould]

Yeah, it is pretty pricey.
I look forward to see what you do with the Ruckus K&N filter.
I'm guessing that you'll cut the paper filter out and then bond the K&N in its place?
We had to do the same thing with the UK Zoomer if we wanted to install the US Ruckus K&N filter.

The filter isn't really the biggest restriction it's the air inlet piping. I'd bet on the dyno you won't see any difference between the two filters in the stock airbox and piping. Even with the K&N directly on the throttle body the difference is subtle.

 

[Remould]

I've not measured or compared the throttle body and intake tube diameters.
Is the air inlet tube smaller than the 22mm throttle body inlet?
I remember seeing a post somewhere on here about someone who swapped in a larger diameter hose (radiator hose?) between the throttle body and airbox. Can't seem to find the post though... :/

True, but I like the idea of having a washable filter. I have them in all my bikes and cars too.

I did the ruckus k&n filter. Cut out the stock. Trimmed the hole, an added a screw to secure it in the stock housing plate. An the cover held the side with out a screw in place. I didn't feel any difference. But when I switched to the k&n 1100 universal, there was a noticeable difference. I posted it in my build thread I think. Ill try look.

Post #30 in my build thread. Has some pics of the ruckus k&n filter in the trimmed stock housing/plate thing.

Here is a how to video on the K&N replacement for anyone interested.
