@@BrockDavidson I'm excited to see my bike on your dyno hehe. Damn those are better numbers than what I was expecting, really happy about that. Nice to compare apple to apple, not so far from the gsxr. I wonder what a v4 panigale would do on your dyno. Brock do you have any bikes that run on ethanol (e85), can you make a video about how to tune one please ? Cheers.

[@BrockDavidson]

@@arkama67 Hello. We should have V4 on our dyno before too long. Most (if not all) motorcycle fuel systems cannot supply enough volume to properly run e85. Once you get into swapping pumps and mandatory bike specific tuning - its a race bike and we don't mess with it. Instead, we use VP MR12 fuel - it makes more power (normally aspirated), the OEM fuel system is fine and you can simply switch back to pump fuel if you are caught out on the road and can't find e85.

[@arkama67]

@@BrockDavidson Thank you for the reply, I was asking because gas is getting very expensive in France and e85 is cheap as dirt.

[@SmokysRides]

Can you do a video where you tear the motor down after using one of these filters long term? The big discussion in the community is about whether these filters pass too much debris even in a "clean" environment and if that is damaging the engine or not. One tear down video is all the world needs to prove this one way or another.

[@BrockDavidson]

This long term test demonstrates that the engine has maintained it's horsepower levels on the dyno consistently over time/use...so it's clear there is no "damage". The bike now has 32K miles and runs fantastic - I'll schedule another update soon.

[@gsxrforevercz]

i saw there is small gap around air filter because air filter is made from very hard plastic material and cant seal space around filter to secure all that incoming particles. K@N offer special paste which can seal space around filter.but these P08 F1-085 was only prototype.today version is made from rubber which seal much more! and can solve that issue with particles on throtlle bodies as well.one week ago i ordered my P08 (pm05s) for my tuono 13 v4r aprc and came made from rubber as well.best on market.i use BMC filter before.:) now i got more flow without oiling!

[@BrockDavidson]

We have never looked back after finding Sprint Filter. All others are obsolete IMHO.

[@yamakawirodebike5710]

Thanks both to you and Mike! Great to see long term street use on parts.

[@klaus-juergenkessel3916]

I tried out a lot of different air filters until I installed the Sprint filter which is the best you can buy. I have been using the Sprint filter since a couple of years on different motorcycle and I can highly recommend it. It's a very good investment and I will never go back to other brands. Thanks to "Brock's" for the video and his expertise!

[@BrockDavidson]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Popsm0ke]

Hey Mike. Have you ridden the Cherohala skyway as well ? I like it better than the dragons tail. Luckily I'm in western N.C and kinda close to those N.C treasures

[@barryweaver8833]

So bottom line if you clean your F1 air filter say on every oil change, it will always perform consistently!

[@freelanceriders]

interested to see if a japanese or australian market bike were to be done at your shop and what you'd do to it to extract some power. here in Aus all sports bikes, such as the zx10r and similar bikes, all are tuned to a minimum of 95RON. Lowest RON fuel you can buy at the pump here is 91RON with 95 and 98 being readily available. Bought myself a 2007 gixxer 1000 with 24000 miles (40000kms) after selling my Ducati 848. replaced the oil, air filter (replaced with oem) and spark plugs and found that i definitely regained some mid range torque (most likely from the air filter replacement). went to give it an agressive squirt and found myself in a 1 wheeled situation haha. i'm usually ok with travelling on 1 wheel on the odd occasion but i didn't expect it to pull that hard hahaha. Love your channel and vids. Cheers Mate

[@BrockDavidson]

@freelanceriders - in the United States and Canada we use the Anti-Knock Index (AKI) or (R+M)/2 method. This is generally 4-6 points lower than RON. your 95RON which explains our availability of 87 AKI min vs. Your 91RON and our 93 AKI max vs. your 98 RON.

I really wish I would have held out for the F 185 or got the street filter I bought the race filter while Brock was doing the videos on the new GSXR I don't even have 1,300 miles on my bike and when I pulled the air filter it was scary! I went ahead and put the OEM back in since it was brand new

[@BrockDavidson]

The P16 is a race filter and we don't recommend it for street use. The P16 flows double the air compared the P08, but it filters 1/2 as well (160 microns vs. 80 microns) The P08 F1-85 flows more air than a P16, but filters down to 85 microns.

[@Shade_Tree_TV]

@@BrockDavidson yes that was what I heard from them when I contacted him about all the dirt particles that we're getting by the po8. I was communicating through email they were going to send me a street used rated filter or I would even have been happy with a discounted price on the new p16 but never heard anything back hopefully I can sell my p08 and recoup some of the money back. Thanks again for all your videos on the GSXR series

[@GR8WHITEC5]

.....and, another great video with lots of knowledge and experience. I wish you still did one-on-one individual bike dyno tuning. My last checkup, the dealership removed my Sprint filter and replaced it with a stock/OEM filter citing "too much debris" in the box. Same filter, different region. So, question: Will going from Sprint back to stock OEM cause any mapping issues with Air/Fuel? More specifically; will it run richer or leaner with less air? I noticed more decel popping but that may be due to a winter tune and high heat summer. And, should the bike be retuned for stock/OEM airflow? I noticed my Dragy blue speed line was not as smooth as with the Sprint. Bummer.

[@BrockDavidson]

The stock filter flows less air, so the air fuel ratio will be richer. This can also create more decel pop since there are s more unburned fuel in the pipe during decel. Easy fix is to put your sprint Filter back in.

[@K-carbon]

Was it a sprint P-08 or P-08 f1-85

[@BrockDavidson]

It was a P08 F1-85, but this applies to any Sprint Filter.

[@antonioantonov5141]

Hey Brock, I want to pick your brain a little here. For my 09 GSXR 600 they don’t make the P08 F1 but they do have the p08 instead. What I currently have is a k&n filter (not sure wether race or normal style filter), what my main question is, is the p08 (normal not f1) a better alternative to the k&n. Or would this be such a negligible difference that it would not perform any better or worse? Thank you I’m having this dilemma and cannot figure out how much air the k&n filter passes trough. And the p08 as far as I saw it was 5000 l/m/ second

[@BrockDavidson]

Antonio, the P08 will not only outflow your current filter (bit.ly/34Sj1fQ) - but you will also receive the other benefits. Fast/Easy to clean and no need to wash/oil/wait to dry. Please go here to request a P08 F1085 for your bike: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/ and our team will look into having them produced.

Agree, I would recommend covering the intakes before doing anything to it. Also cleaning the air filter with air pressure is not recommended.

I have a dilemma Brock. I’ve got a 2021 mt-09sp and Yamaha changed the airbox style a bit. So sprint used to make a stage 3 filter for the 2020, but no more. The new stage 2 sprint for the 2021 is a filter built into the box cover itself. Do you believe this new stage 2 has as much airflow as the older stage 3?

Hi. I am running a Sprint P08 filter on my 2016 Zx10. Is the F1 filter worth an upgrade from a cost Point of view vis-a-vis the p08? I dont want to compromise on the filteration bit as I operate in some pretty dusty areas and the P08 just about manages to hold things off.

[@BrockDavidson]

The purchasers of the P08 F1-85 filters are the folks who are trying to extract maximum performance from their machines - we can't make them fast enough, so - yes, it's worth it to them. For commuting in dirty conditions, we recommend the P08 as a minimum and a P37 for very dusty conditions. More info: bit.ly/2xllNwq

[@jockvanniekerk8074]

Brock in new Zealand we work with RON for the fuel octane. You use 87 on your side so if I understand correctly from your previous comment that would be our 91 ron here is that correct and will that make the best power vs 95 or 98 ron. THANKS

[@BrockDavidson]

It depends on your RON rating for the bike. We try to stay within 1 point. Example, we don't use 87 AKI in a bike that requires 90 min. We will use 89 AKI as it makes more power than 93 AKI.

@@BrockDavidson Thank you sir

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Okay, I read the article. What it was explaining makes total sense to me and much of it I have known already. Next question: does the owner's manual on the ZX-10R specify a minimum 89 octane R+M/2? Most bikes I've owned with at least 12.0:1 compression say minimum 90 R+M/2. I suppose that's partly the manufacturer saving itself from litigation in case the user happens to mix some lower stuff. Do you have a set scale of absolute octanes that YOU personally at the shop use for a given compression ratio? I downloaded a 2016 ZX-10R ABS owners manual off the Kawasaki website and the tag specifies "minimum of 90+ RON+MON/2" with 13:1 compression. But ironically it's the same sticker for a Z900 which is 11.8:1.

@@TGrigor92 Okay I understand. But I'm wondering what octane is suitable for what compression ratio.

[@chodiusmaximus4042]

which sprint filter is better? P08-F1 or P16? Also I was told to stay OEM because sprint filters do let some grit, grime, and other particles through. Is that true?

[@BrockDavidson]

The best filter for your application depends on your goals (go faster/ease of cleaning/maximum filtration etc...) The P16 is a full race filter and it's being phased out as the P08 F1-85 flows and filters better. If you live in a very dusty region, the P037 offers maximum filtration with quick/easy /no mess or wait 'shot of compressed air' cleaning. Please call 937-912-0054 or contact [e-mail] for questions.

Not a filter, just a mesh screen protector to catch rocks, bugs, small critters, babies, etc . . . but not a true filter(you can see across the "filter" clearly and what's behind it when the camera focus on it). Brock knows a lot but I don't agree all the time with him, this one being one of those. Your rings, cylinder walls and pistons will let you know they are not happy further down the road if you keep the bike for the long run. Can't have both, choose one, Longevity or Performance.

This is Sprints race filter, and it's not really recommended for street riding because it will let smaller particles through.

I wouldn't run this race filter on my street bike that i'm hoping to get 50k miles out of it nor would i run less than 0 weight oil. But in a drag or race bike, my thinking would be different where the extra few horses would provide an edge on the competition.
