Installation and Tuning Considerations

  • Ease of Installation: Most aftermarket air cleaners are designed for relatively straightforward installation, though some may require additional tools or mechanical expertise. Stage 1 kits often come with instructions, and many are designed to bolt on with minimal modification.

  • ECU Tuning: After installing an aftermarket air cleaner, it’s important to tune your bike’s ECU (engine control unit) to optimize fuel and air mixture. Many aftermarket kits come with or recommend a specific tuner or fuel management system (DynoJet Power Vision, or TTS MasterTune). Proper tuning ensures that your bike runs smoothly and efficiently after the modification.
