barkwindjammer Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I would have thought the K&N filter experience would have taught you something, just leave it be and enjoy, bike manaufacturers dont spend 1 Million dollars in research and development for you to spend £40 to 'soup it up' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulwhite Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 im not even gonna begin telling you how annoying it is to try and fit a k&n filter to the xvs 125! its just easier not to as to "down gearing" what are you looking for? more acceleration? drop a tooth or 2 on the front sprocket (but your top speed will drop ) but saying that....the bike should pull a bit better in 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
