If you want your MT 07 (FZ 07) to go faster and be more powerful it has to be able to breathe faster. Often a high-flow air filter upgrade is an afterthought once the exhaust is upgraded. But they should be done together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yamaha service manual recommends replacing the air filter every 40,000km or 24000 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we will go over the steps involved to install a K&N or DNA high flow air filter<\/a> and modifying your motorcycle filter snorkel box. You can do this yourself and it shouldn’t take more than 1\/2 hour. So let’s get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Basically, we need to strip our motorcycles down a little to be able to get under the seat and the fuel tank. Start by taking off the seat, side panels, and bolts holding down the fuel tank.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Now we don’t have to totally remove the fuel tank but prop it up with a towel or a block of wood. Now we will have access to the air box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remove the screws holding down the air filter cover as well as the long deep Philips head screw at the bottom of the air box.<\/p>\n\n\n
