Messin with the airfilter
 

So in my normal way I've started messing with the bits...

I got a new air filter and now.


Because it's a pita to get one and stupidly priced, I'll go hunting for the charge. It honesty looks like they have just glued the charge onto the intake and it is just a question of finding the right filter to fit in its place. The airbox holds the filter by the 4 screws and it contacts the far side of the airbox so it doesn't move.

Here are pics of the a/f disassembled, so if anyone has a part/make/model number you think would fit in the stock filters place let me know and I'll measure it up.

The filter for the GS-500 88 to 02 & 97 to 04 Marauder 800 will fit & is cheaper. Also the Hiflo-Filtro HFA-3503 is a direct fit.

Just in case you are not aware, the GZ has a reverse flow air filter system. You can not drill extra holes in the air box for better air flow. You will just suck in unfiltered air into the engine.

Yes it's a fixed orifice system as well so anything make its lean...still working out the flow volume more to come
