848 Air Filters & Noise

  1. Quick question... I rode a mates 1098 & it was fitted with a Pipercross filter.. Sounded amazing / whistled to such a degree you could clearly hear it over his Akrapovics.... Myself I have a BMC & its whisper quiet..... Anybody else have the Pipercross & noticed how loud the foam filter is?
     
  2. Not sure I'd be fecking about changing filters after a nice set-up you've just paid for mate... :pompus:
     
  3. God no, I'm happy enough with the BMC... Its more me being curious & wondering if my mate had fitted it correctly... He's not the best at spanners & screwdrivers... plus a mate here at work with a Fireblade who's asking me what filter to go for

  4. I remember the induction noise when I first fitted a k&n filter to my gsxr1000. I have toyed with one for the 1098 so would also be interested in replies to the op's question.
