Hello all,

I was looking at fitting a ramair system air filter on my 2014 R3 Roadster, and doing away with the original airbox system.
This I am led to believe makes a huge difference in how the bike performs. The only reservation I have is that I have never used a foam filter system before and am concerned that it is not as efficient at stopping the small particles of grit etc into the intake system, then into the engine causing premature engine wear.
What is the consensus of opinion in relation to fitting the ramair system to keeping the old filter system, have any owners who have done this conversion had any dramas?

Thanks in advance.
 
All good, can't think of any negative issues with mine and most others. May need a retune after.
 
Thanks Scorp. I have seen a Youtube video that someone put up in relation to swapping it over. Looks easy enough, old mate who posted the video ran the bike until the fan kicked in without touching the throttle, then ran it a further 12 minutes without touching the throttle, and that was that.....apparently.
 
As long as it has oil on the filter (comes pre oiled) dirt should not be an issue. When I got my bike it had staintune exhaust with crossover installed. I had it put on the dyno and it was 126rwhp. I had 3 pod filters installed and the dyno was 137rwhp. Got it to 142rwhp after tune. Added headers with single exhaust with tune and changed to ramair, 162rwhp. Done cam, pistons, 201rwhp. Hmmmm, what next....
 
Hopefully you have Aftermarket exhaust & Catalyst eliminated - If you don't, you're wasting almost all gain you would get from the RamAir. It has to be able to blow exhaust out before it can ever take more air in.
If you do, great! but you will need to run a richer tune on the ecu or it will be running too lean & bad for your engine
 
I have a 2014 Roadster with TORS. Fitted Ramair and it totally transformed the bike. Amazing throttle responce, induction roar and all round increased smoothness. I've also got a new tune to try courtesy of Mr Hanso but been too cold to do yet.

As for the old airbox etc I left everything in place in case I ever wanted to swap back. The air filter can still be removed from its housing and the space utilised.
 

What oil are you spraying on your Ramair filters? Are you using the Red K&N oil?
