Gary N. Posted April 15, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 15, 2008 K&N is the way to go. Here's a link to Barons but you can get them on e-bay all the time for less. http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/335/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIKD Posted April 15, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 15, 2008 K&N is definitely the way to go. I got mine thru Phat Performance Parts http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=ya-1399 I buy most of my parts there because of their low prices and great customer service.

jrcain32 Posted April 15, 2008 Share #5 Posted April 15, 2008 Is the price shown for 1 or 2 filters? I'm assuming it's for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahamer Posted April 15, 2008 Share #6 Posted April 15, 2008 Is the price shown for 1 or 2 filters? I'm assuming it's for 2. Yes it's two per box. And the last ones you have to buy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-N-AIR-FILTER-XVZ1300-ROYAL-STAR-VENTURE-YA-1399_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ35597QQihZ015QQitemZ250185035757QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moakster Posted April 15, 2008 Share #8 Posted April 15, 2008 You have two air filters, one on each side of the bike. They sit behind the lower cowling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry W Posted April 15, 2008 Share #10 Posted April 15, 2008 I am running aftermarket pipes but still have stock air filters, is there a noticeable gain in performance or mileage with the k&n's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firewalker Posted April 15, 2008 Share #12 Posted April 15, 2008 ok I have a question, I have been told if I go to the K&Ns on my bike I will have to rejet is this true, I have a set of drilled RK pipes and wonder if I could go to those and the K&Ns without rejetting?

Bartley Posted April 15, 2008 Share #13 Posted April 15, 2008 I personally am not a fan of the K&N air filters. I know many members here swear by them and have good luck with them. You have to remember that K&N's allow for more air and therefore causes a leaner running condition. I guess that on RSV's this lean condition is so slight that it is not noticeable on some bikes. I just couldn't find that "sweet" spot with the K&N's, so I switched back to the stock filters. The bike has been running great with the Bub slip-ons for the past 3 years. I just recently installed V&H slip-ons (a more beautiful sound I have never heard) with the stock filters and the bike runs like a scalded dog. So, after reading all the posts, it probably doesn't matter which you choose. Just remember, with the slip-ons, you do NOT have to change your air intake.

TO MY UNDERSTANDING THE ONLY TIME YOU NEED TO REJET ON A VENTURE IS IF YOU GO TO A BIGER HEAD PIPE. SLIP ON'S AND AIR FILTERS HAVE NO AFFECT OTHER THAN YOU WILL HAVE TO LOWER YOUR IDLE.
