Hello all,
I just picked up a low mileage 81 GS 250T, turning it into a cafe racer.
I would like to change over to k+n air filters, Their website does not
list one.
Has anyone here used one for 30mm Mikunis?
Thanks for any help!
 
Cant help ya with your bike but I can welcome ya to the board.
Welcome!
 
Welcome to the forums!

Don't worry about what the filter's supposed to be used for, just measure the diameter of the intake side of the carbs and find a K&N with the right diameter and you should be good to go...

And glad to see you're hoping to use a good quality brand too, that will help when it comes to rejetting time :)
 
Thanks Guys,
I appreciate the help. I have some parts that i,m not going to use anymore
such as: seat, rear fender tail light and bracket, turn signals,side covers.
Free if anyone is interested.
 
Welcome to GSR. Go ahead and put your general location in the User CP (upper left) and we'll know where you are. And yeah, the K&Ns (the easiest way to go AFA tuning) are very generic.
 
I,m in northern new jersey and thanks again for your replies,a lot of good info here.

Hi Mr. seabee,

You'll have to re-jet the carbs once you install pod filters. It will not run right if you don't.

Anyway, let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

Thank you for the information, i didnt even think about rejetting. Do companies like Dynojet offer a jet kit for a 81 gs250t? If not, where would i go for one?

Click to expand...

You'd need to check with them but I suspect not...

You can rejet just by changing the jets and needles that are in there with larger ones, but there is definitely a technique to it. Do some searching for plug chops and have a look at BassCliff's site for the same which will help you out.

I'm shortly going to be rejetting my carbs properly instead of the half arsed job I've done so far and will be using a Morgan Carbtune to try to get it right.
 
I have K&N on my cb350 racer with vm30mm mikuni,
the model are the long taper,
K&N parts number is r-1260
the filter is an oil type and b020a4 is molded in the rubber
