@@stuartfillingham, honestly I'm really tempted because it looks so much like my first street legal bike, a 78 Honda CB550f. I even painted it almost that same burnt orange. Next summer it's either a new Royal Enfield or a used Honda CB1100ex. I'm getting old though, so the lighter R.E. is looking pretty good.

Stewart, as a result of watching this video, I bought a DNA air filter for my car a Kia Picanto 1.25cc to replace the stock airbox filter. I wasn't expecting any performance difference at all, I just liked the idea of the long life of the product. Now I know that you are an honest and sensible guy, so I trusted your opinion and I am so glad that I did!. The filter has made a very noticeable improvement to the torque and runs more freely, the engine is more relaxed and copes with any situation that I ask of it!. The fuel economy has improved, acceleration is quicker, it really does feel like the car has had a larger engine fitted!

Induction roar on my Kymco AK550 with DNA was enhanced further by fitting a small aluminium louvered cover to the lid above the still air box. This lid is between the riders knees and not hidden/ sound muffled by a petrol tank. A most enjoyable sound further enhance by the Arrow exhaust muffler and 270 degree firing sequence. Brings joy to this 68 year old.

regarding the Tip to Letting the Engine run at idle to its optimum operating temperature, some say you need to wait until the fan starts to operate. this applies to water-cooled motors, so your Triumph might need this if you ever do the same thing on it. I don't know if it is true or not but it seems many say to wait until the fan kicks in.

I have been reading these posts with interest because of a recent purchase of a DNA filter, this was purchased purely for the fact that it does not need to be replaced (only re-oiled). When I fitted the new filter I went through the 15 minute idle routine as mentioned in several posts and other bloggers, took the bike for a ride and the engine seemed to be struggling to accelerate smoothly especially from low revs and vibration. The next day the same result, the engine was definately down on performance in many ways and not pleasant to ride. I don't know anything about "self learning ECU's" or performance plugs but I do know that my ECU did not want to know about an increase in air flow from the new filter. As a possible solution to the self inflicted "problem" (the bike was working fine before the filter replacement) I replaced the original snorkel covering the air filter and went for a ride. Immediately the bike was buzzing along beautifully, smooth acceleration from any revs, the vibration problem disappeared and the world was wonderful again. So I'm happy with the result, a reusable air filter and a bike that puts a smile on my face when I ride it, life is good.

Touring the USA on my Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, putting in a lot of miles per week it seemed like my life revolved around always cleaning, lubing, and adjusting the chain, trying to keep close the manufacturers recommend intervals 1,000km/621mi, which I can easily do in a day. I really wanted to keep My Royal Enfield stock but eventually broke down and installed the Bandidos Pitstop Belt Drive conversion kit. I love it! Even being very picky to clean off excess lube, after 17,000mi/27,000km it took forever to get it cleaned off all the little cracks and crevices. Plus it is smoother and quieter which I wasn't expecting. The downfall for my use is the gear ratio they use between the front and rear pulleys give more torque, which I don't care about while touring. That also means my gas mileage has gone down. I'm still using the stock paper filters. You mentioned in this video you would be checking for fuel consumption increase later. Did you check? What was the result? What video is it on? Thank you so much for your quality videos!

I have just installed the DNA filter on my Classic 350 (2022) and the performance is absolutely better. Sure it did not turn into a race bike but the ride is a delight even more so than before. I recommend it 100%. One note though: at least from my experience, the 12 minute idle run after installation did not do anything. On The first ride after installation, performance did not feel better and actually felt a bit worse than before, which was disappointing. I thought that’s the end of it. However, during my rides on the following days the engine felt better and better, like it’s “learning” during actual rides rather than running on idle.

Stuart, I installed a DNA filter and bellmouth on my Meteor 350, and wow, what a difference! I followed your advice about letting it idle, but I let mine idle a little longer, as it was cold out today. I let mine idle for 15 minutes, so as to ensure that it had reached operating temperature. Then, I rode around my neighborhood to make sure the bike was all right. When that felt good, I went for a longer ride. While my Meteor 350 will never be a superbike, the DNA filter DEFINITELY woke it up! It pulls and accelerates in all gears, even in 5th. With the stock filter and snorkel, my bike didn't really pull in fifth; it felt like it had run out of breath-because it had. It pulls and accelerates more for sure. It also has a nice roar. I'm DEFINITELY glad I got the filter! Thanks again for the tip to warm up the bike first. Cheers!

ok that does it! I'm not touching my bike until I check in with Stuart first. Thanks Stuart for explaining what I did incorrectly. I purchased the DNA filter a month ago not because I wanted more power but because I used to race off-road and I know the benefit of a high performance air filter for power consistency but also because it's cheaper in the long run to clean your filter instead of replacing it. But, my bikes never had fuel injection and an ECU so I replaced my stock filter with the DNA and rode the bike like I normally do to work. My INT is a commute bike and so it rode fine to work, but later in the day when I started it to go home, it wouldn't idle and it was very rough idling when I got it to start. I had to be careful on the way home to not let the revs drop below 3k or it would stall. When I got home I thought I must have done something wrong so I removed the filter and put back in the stock filter and left it that way for about a week. I then thought that was crazy as this must be working for others so I decided to trouble shoot it. I put it back in and started the bike and I must have gotten dumb lucky as I let it idle while I looked around. Of course there was nothing I could do so I didn't change anything but after a few minutes it seemed to be idling just fine. So I then took it out and rode it and stopped it and let it sit, and started it and rode it and everything seemed to be working properly. I then went back to commuting with the DNA installed and it's been great since. I agree that there really isn't anything noticeably different, but I wasn't expecting anything as my reason to install it is for better long term consistency and for a less costly maintenance. Thanks for the great write-up again!

I have been told a free flowing air filter does nothing to create more power. The engine is not going to take in any more air with a freer flowing filter. Only way it would do anything is if engine can not get enough air in thru air filter that comes on bike stock. Manufactures don’t design air filters that can not flow enough air for engine to run correctly. A free flowing filter is not going to force more air into engine. They just don’t do anything for performance. Plus with K&N filters they have to be oiled frequently to be able to filter out dirt and most people don’t keep them oiled so they are actually hurting your engine. I just don’t buy the argument that these filters do anything for performance. Plus they don’t filter out dirt that well. Going to have to show me on a dyno that it does anything and they have never been able to do this

I have put BMC air filter on my INT650 and I can now say it is one of the cheapest and rewarding mods ... Close to a year now ...ridability is much better in feel, by upto 20% (may be due to higher torque?) and engine revs more freely... No difference in top speed, fuel efficiency etc. The difference needs to be felt and very difficult to put in words .. It is like you have slight cold and breathing difficulty, Vs it is clear and breathing is free... Also changed the 2 stock end cans with aftermarket as well .. All in all money well spent .. Now I cannot comment about longevity of engine due to 3 to 5 % reduced filtration. Also you need to be careful when washing the bike as there is tendency for the filter to get wet (due to bell mouth) and slight water may enter engine ..

I had a very similar setup on one of the bikes I had way back in the day and to be totally honest I didn't fit the filter just for a little bit of extra performance, because the bike didn't need it, I fitted the filter for that gorgeous sounding induction roar. I'm going to fully run my bike in before I change the filter because I want to be able to see what difference it makes.

In the race cars I moved on from a oiled cotton gauze air filter for my racing engines some years ago. However the interceptor presents a conundrum at the moment. It appears that the style of air filter that I prefer for my high performance Chevrolet motors doesn’t seem to exist yet. Maybe I should start selling them myself. R2C type filters are what I prefer for high RPM, dirty environment action. If you’re not familiar with the racing which I am talking about, I have some videos on my channel.

It runs out of puff at 20mph below listed top speed. Not knowing what tune it has had done I am guessing it has not and is running lean so bought new snorkel to revert to standard, tunes available are for free flowing exhausts anyway. Incidentally I was going to buy an interceptor until I saw your post about bad threads, nearly bought new Scrambler then settled for 2015 efi bonneville

Air box and filter design have come a long way since the days of my '71 Commando. There, no thought given to preventing water egress, just a housing of perforated metal. Left me stuck on number of times on the side of the road in pouring rain.

Can you add a performance air filter to your INT/GT 650 with a stock muffler/silencer?

Yes, makes a small difference to the bottom and midrange but improves the sound as well.

Changing the stock air filter to the DNA Kit was the very first modification I did. The engine felt more powerful and responsive. Maybe also due to a noticeable increase in volume when fully opennig the throttle at medium revs. The induction noise might fool us, as our ears tend to make us feel that louder is quicker. Thank you for the information about the self learning process of the ECU. I'll go downstairs now an give the bike an idle run.

Hi Stuart very informative video's, thanks for your effort. could you do a video on cleaning the filter as most of the ones I have watched on KZbin show cleaning the outside and these on the interceptor draw the air in from the inside. Tim

The air filter is important however I can't help but wonder what changes to the flywheel would do . The Enfield appears to be one of those bikes that responds to fettling. Bikes like this are rewarding to own . Keep the vids coming.

I would definitely fit this but I only have an A2 license... Last thing I need is to fit it and increase the power and then get pulled up on it if I’m ever to be pulled over. Same thing with the exhaust, I find that would be an improvement also but again, it’s a risk.

A good air filter permits a hotter spark accelerating the flame flash , all in all the bike responds faster to acelleration

Lets say a person was going to install this filter system, but also install S&S mufflers and high flow header pipes. Would you recommend making all of the mods at once and then updating the ECU or updating the ECU after each individual mod so that the ECU does not have to make one large adjustment, but instead several small adjustments? As always your videos are very informative and easily understood. Thanks!

My only concern would be water. I usually daily motorcycles, which means leaving them at my office all day while raining, riding in the rain... Have you noticed any water entry?
