Im new so whats up
Now I have a 02 r6 and im bout to buy K+N filter
I've been told that you have to change somethin about the jetting?
yes no? i dont know
or is it as easy as just poppin that sucker in?

swantcha

 

is the 02 carbed or injected?
Basically when you get a filter or a pipe it's going to allow more air to flow through, allowing for more power, basically. Now when you change one of those it changes the mix or air and gas in the cylinder, usually makes it too lean, (too much air, not enough gas) Now I'm not sure if a K&N will make a huge difference in this but you probably want to get either a jet kit or a PC3, depending on if your bike is injected or carbed.

I'm sure more people are going to post much more intelligent posts after this

 

yeah its injected, but i want to gradually you know gettin a little more HP i was thinking K&N then pipe then PC but im pretty new to all this

so help is good

 

If yours is an 02 its carb'd.. they didn't FI a R6 until 03... or so they say

 

lies.... ALLL LIES!!!
maybe it is
but i dont know
hey man if you have AIM get online

 

i've got aim, but i'm at work, soo.. no aim here got anymore questions, shoot em out here.

 

Well if your absolutely sure it's carbed then what all do I have to do if anything besides just replacing the old filter?

 

i have and 04 yzf 600 (not r6) i put a pipe (no headers) on and was think about tha K&N, should i get a jet kit too or what????

 

Personally, i think the gains you get with a Air Filter are negligable, and i'd rather spend my money on something else. the 99-02 bikes are carburated, which require a jet kit, if you install an exhaust. The Air Filter will flow more air w/ less restriction, but it still can only filter as much as the engine can take, so i don't think you would have to adjust w/ a bigger jet or such.

With the 03-5 bikes, came Fuel Injection. With these, any change w/ the air filter, exhaust, slide stops, velocity stacks, etc requires a Power Commander to get maximum HP out of the mods. But, it is not necessary to have them for an exhaust/filter, but is highly recommend'd.

That should pretty well sum it up, if i said something wrong, maybe someone will correct me.

 

Dont do it man! the KandN doesnt work on the 99-02 R6, you will loose power even with thousands of dollars in jetting and dyno runs. I used to own a 01 R6 and we tried differernt filters and nothing works better on that bike then the stock Yamaha filter. Just take it out and wash it
