Pipercross air filter

zxdek · 02-06-2010, 07:48 AM

looking to replace my air filters and came across these on e-bay Kawasaki ZX12R B1H,B2H 00-06 PIPERCROSS AIR FILTER on eBay (end time 07-Feb-10 19:07:39 GMT)
just wondering if anyone has used these,£40 seems a good price but i can get k&n for £45.
cheers dek

I haven't heard anything bad about the Pipercross filters - Many here change to K&N (or other brand), but few have good things to say about the stockers!!

it says in item box 1 filter

you need 2 so not so cheep me thinks.

check its for 1 set before you buy.

No actual picture?? wonder how they fit
BMCs are the shit. they fit perfect

Wouldn't risk it, stick with what others use, BMC's seem best down to good design & fit but more expensive than the K&N's which with a bit of fiddling & grease fit fine and do the job.

ive had bad issues with foam type filters,, i went BMC race and havent looked back!

zxdek · 02-07-2010, 12:10 PM

thanks for the info guys,think i'll go with the k&n's,bmc are pretty hard to find in the uk but i did manage to find a supplier but they are £120 for the road and £150 for race ones
cheers dek

Bought my BMC race filters through Bristol Kawasaki for £70, that was a couple of years back though.

I Have DNA air filters been in for 5 years and always come like new after a wash and oil ,fit perfect

Jim zx12r · 02-08-2010, 11:09 AM

Never had a problem with my K&N's. Fitted fine with no problems and have been performing well ever since

Just put a new set in my 2000 12r and I had to trim the rubber to get it to fit. I greesed and everything.I was not happy having to do so! you would think that u spend a lot of $ they would fit right.

I know pipercross are very popular amongst the 10r and MX crowds.
