air filter ?'s
« on: September 05, 2014, 12:44:10 PM »
Wondering what everyone's opinion is on which air filter is better, UniFilter or TwinAir? Also does anyone have any experience with PC Racing filter sealing ring (good or bad)?

Thanks sandblaster ordered it and a new twinair. I was taking my no toil off for its first wash wasn't even dirty and the seam pulled apart when my hand bumped it reaching in my airbox. Tried to put pics on per the threads on here wish I could figure it out so you all could see what a dud filter I got from no toil (very disappointed) :x

Never had that problem with no toil, i would call em and complain.  I get them for about $12 and would rather just replace than clean for that price.

Yeah i was getting em for 14 so my plan was to replace rather than clean! Not so now to many other options. I will deal with cleaning em now. My boy was telling me to go unifilter, hope I didn't go wrong with twin air. :?

Twin Air is a good filter, just a little more money.

Twin-Air only since the mid 80's...I'd never use anything else.
I don't waste time cleaning them either...I just run new ones each time.

Yes....

Good tip, I just ordered one of these.  When I bought my bike, I was pissed because the carb boot was full of crap.  I  noticed the last time I cleaned my air filter (after going desert riding) that there was a lot of dirt past the filter, and I clean my filters meticulously after every ride. 

I'm going to check really good for any other issues like cracks, too.

Also look for how well the boot is sealed to the air box.
I had a bad one and it drove me insane until I figured out what the problem was...

Twin air for me. Their quality and racer support program is top notch.

I have used twin air and uni with no problems from either. Clean them correctly and oil them correctly and I am sure you will be  happy.
