Hey guys, I have an 03 600 RR, and I just went over the 10,200 mile mark. Im looking to get a new air filter, and I hear BMC is THE filter to get for bikes. Which filter do i get, and where can I get it.


Also, since im over the 10 grand mark... where do you guys get your plugs, and which plugs?

Thanks for any help,

Chris

That's where I got mine. NGK Iridium. I doubt at 10K you need them, but feel free. As far as filter, I wouldnt know about he BMC as I run a K&N and I like it. You probably arent going to notice a difference if that's why you're doing it. Same with the plugs. But for general maint reasons, either is probably fine, and almost assuredly cheaper than OEM.
You can pick up a filter most anywhere on the web. Personally I preffer http://www.kneedraggers.com as I've done alot of business with them over the years and have always been treated right.

 

thanx a lot gixxereater... i appreciate the words. I know I dont need plugs till like, 16? or 12? either way, id like to do them at the same time as the filter an everything. Ive been riding in some pretty dusty areas throughout my ownership of the bike, so i figured might as well. an if I got that sh** tore apart, might as well do some more maintainence right? hahahah


anyway, thanks alot bro,

Chris

 

Agreed, nothing wrong with doing preventative maint. I like to wait til it's broken to fix then it gives you a new appreciation for the bike.

 

if you're riding in dusty conditions, KN and BMC are out of the question. these are race filters built for flow...and hence do not filter as well as stock.

 

Its not like dust storm conditions, not at all. Right now they are doing construction on our street, so riding on that is a bit durtay... and the bike is 3-4 years old.... I think its filtered quite a bit of stuff in its day, especially considering the guy who owned it before was stationed in hawaii for awhile. I would just like to get a new filter and a little more flow, im pretty sure it wont have a problem filtering what comes at it.... im not going 100mph through dust storms, right? :S


thanks for the insight tahoe, you think ill be ok?

 

yea it'll be fine...it doesn't filter as well as stock, but i haven't heard of anyone having serious issues with it. you should try and MAP for it if one is available.

 

MAP? sorry, im still a newb... you mean just re-map the fuel injection an all that? will it mess with the settings I have now at all, cause the previous owner did some tweaking after installing the rt-one, and its about as close to flawless as its going to get, and theres now pc on it as far as I know.


thanks for all the help tahoe... you teh mang hehe

you may just get some slight popping but nothing crazy. if it's crazy popping then you'll have to try and get a MAP for the PC3 for RT1 slip on and BMC air filter, if not, the try the K&N one. it's not going to be horrible riding it or anything but it just won't be perfect you know? you'll be fine mang! just put it in and GO!

do you know if the pervious owner dyno tuned it or just downloaded a MAP from the internet?
