T180985 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 yea its the right filter, the standard one looks different but its basically the same shape the older model of my bike had a panel filter i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Looking at the exploded diagram below and the pictures of both filters, i think that the foam filter goes over the cage (plastic Ribs).However i suspect this is not the case with the K&Ntry it without the cage and see how you get on..http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/simonevans73/air-filter-1993-l3-zx400_bigKAE0330.gifReplacement FilterK&N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i would suggest that the foam filter needs the support of the cages 11013whereas the K&N replaces all items in 11013A, s no cage, in or out and bolts required, this is down to the k&N having no pre-drilled holes unlike the foam filter, Can you try fitting the K&N without all the gubbins from the foam filter..? if it works, i'd suggest that it how it is too fit. but i'd keep all the bits in case you fit a foam filter again, or sell the bike on..was there no instructions with the K&N?

Stu Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i think the inner cage creates the seal so all air is passed through the filter does any of the cages fit in or over the K&N ?im sure you use the outer and have to drill holse in the K&N edge for the bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
