K&N for my '88 Gixxer 750

Anytime you can get your engine to "breathe" better, it will increase power output. Most older bikes can benefit from a air filter upgrade (just as any car). Hope this helps.


Have you changed the exhaust?

Cool, it looks like I was preaching to the choir.

The jetting should keep it from "popping". 8)

That popping sound (kinda a mini backfire) is from the fuel to air ratio being too lean. Only replacing the muffler (on a bike or car) reduces the backpressure. The engine breathes out better. When you allow the engine more air in, via a performance air filter, the engine breathes in better. Now, you've got more air, but less fuel. Hence it being too lean (air/gas mixture for combustion.) Get it remapped or jet it to put more fuel when the engine needs it.


Just the basics. Tried not to be too technical.

Nice set-up Nut. That special edition GSX-R looks real sweet. I wonder what they'll cost.
