Anyone fitted a K@N air filter to replace the black airbox on a mk3?Where did you route the breather?Did you change any jets or settings?Was it a worthwhile conversion?
 
I fitted one of the single K&Ns to both carbs. The breather was routed to the oil tank as normal and then out to the back of the bike.

I did go up a couple of sizes on the mains (I tried 240s and 250s). Despite my best efforts playing with jets, needle position and slides, I always felt a hesitation when taking a bigger handful at large throttle openings. It was possible to disguise it but never lose it completely.

The best option for me has been the 750 style air filter - an efficient filter and clean carburation. Still a bit fiddly though.
