With my airbox cover off in sandy conditions , how much sand gets into filter area? Anyone know?

 

Some gets in, I am a little wary about it and am thinking of putting the lid back on with maybe a big snorkle.
In dusty conditions the top of the filter seems to get way more dirty than the rest. The bike wasnt designed to not have a lid and so the airflow wasnt considered by the engineers.

Ya i just dont wanna come home from a ride and find a sand box in my air box area!! Just seeing if anyone has rode in sugar sand with no cover on..

 

All I ride issugar....no problems, and I use a k&n filter lol.

 

Damm FM,
That bike must be screaming Uncle burried in sand like that!

 

lol.....she's happy in da sand

She's not buried, if I stop to take a break or pic, I just gasss it a little and hold the front brake....burries the rear a little so the bike will stand by itself...kickstand don't work here mostly.....to get out ..... just put her in 2nd,gas it and drop the clutch.

 

Do you have any extra protection on the front of the top of the airbox like foam strip or anything?
i was thinking that may help the kind of riding I do

Usually Nothin Kiwi.....but in N Fl, when it's dry, the real fine sand and clay spots tend to clog up my k&nfaster than I like......sometimes I put a precut piece of their prefilter fabric over the box....don't do it often but it works good and seems to make the filter last a lot longer.

 

Hey finger , what is number on that k and n bad boy?

 

Flood, I don't remeber the part #, but if yougo toK&N's website and get the part #forthe klx 300 you'll be good to go. I got mine cheapest from Pep Boys...lol

BTW K&N's are not good filters.....just ask anyone on the internet.
