Author Topic: Air filter seal. (Read 2266 times)

Hello every one, I finally got time to service my bike to day and to my surprise, when I went to replace the air filter it had a k&n in. Now I bought a genuine filter but I can't fit it as I have no seal for it. Does anybody know where to get that seal from other than a dealer? Had a quick look online but can't seem to find it.
My other option is to buy the cleaning kit and keep the k&n?

When you say "seal" , do you mean the rubber edging around the genuine filter ? It's should come with it .

The new stock filters have supplied with edge seals included since 2007.

I not sure what it is but my gen filter don't come with it. Forgot to mention I have a k5 so it the older model. Think the newer models have it all built in but not sure. Have I got a faulty filter then?

Thanks I've pm'd you. I managed to find it on a parts website but there is no stock of them so don't think they are unavailable.

No worries. It off a 650 AL3. I am sure someone will pop along soon and tell us if it is the right one.

If it is you can have it freemans.

Cheers

It doesn't matter what year the bike is. Filters manufactured since 2007 for any year Vee, Wee or Glee all fit and have an edge seal. You would have to have become some very old stock to get a filter without it.

It's either an old one or somebody forgot to put one on at the factory.

Is the K&N filter one that can be cleaned and re-used?

Hope it sorts it for you

I was thinking the same... (was about to curse my living in the West

Every days a bank holiday when the sun is shining

It was in the Republic of Ireland.

Ian's profile puts him in East Yorkshire....... and the Midlands.
Maybe he's got a motorbicycle?

Ian T · « **Reply #18 on:** August 09, 2017, 20:19:57 »

He got a Urinal outfit, that do?

Moved from Midlands can't alter profile, so now I live where it always a bank Holliday and the sun always shines

Rusty Nuts · « **Reply #19 on:** August 09, 2017, 20:38:44 »

Does that mean you get dragged to the garden centre and B&Q every day?

And yes the Ural definitely counts.
