CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
• When installing the air filter, ensure that the vehicle cannot topple over and that
the workplace is well lit.
• The modified dimensions of the air filter can cause you to become caught and
sustain injuries.
CAUTION!
Risk of accident!
• The power air filter must be firmly installed. Mounting on the motor side only
in rubber mounts is not sufficient. If the power air filter falls off, it can put other
road users at risk and cause accidents.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage
• The modified airflow requires the air-fuel ratio to be tuned and some modified
carburettor components. Otherwise the engine may run too lean as a result of
the increased airflow, which will cause the engine to overheat and at worst can
cause engine damage.
4 | Installation
4.1 | Preparation
First jack up the motorcycle securely in a well lit place.
Remove the original, existing airbox in accordance with the specifications from a workshop manual
for the vehicle model. Check whether the new power air filter can be clamped to the carburettor
flange and fits on the vehicle.
4.2 | Installation
If the power air filter can be installed on the motorcycle, a rear mount then has to be fashioned for
the carburettor which reliably prevents the carburettor from coming loose from the flange on the
cylinder head now that the original airbox is omitted.
The carburettor (all carburettors when using multiple power air filters) then has to be tuned to run
richer. This must be performed individually to suit the specific vehicle and in accordance with any
other tuning accessories which may be in use. There is no general recipe for tuning. It is best to use
a ready-made carburettor tuning kit (e.g. Dyonet carburettor kit level 3 or higher) which includes
specially produced jet needles and main jets for the respective vehicle model.
If you are not able to acquire such a kit, you will have to perform tuning yourself. In order to find the
optimum tuning, engine test runs have to be carried out, if possible on a dynamometer.
5 | Storage
Until you're ready to install the Delo Power Air Filter, keep it in its original packaging and store in a
place that is protected from weather and moisture.
