Air filter 200s

[jatteberry]

Whats a good/best air filter to run in my 1984 Honda 200s?

[NETRA3]

Probably a UNI Filter, That's what I run in my 350x.

[jatteberry]

Thanks. Ive heard good things about UNI. What about K&N? Or do they allow to much dirt in the motor?

[yaegerb]

Properly oiled UNI for wet/muddy conditions.

you can get away with a K&N for gravel road riding or dusty conditions. Needs to be oiled properly as well.

Ok. Thanks I don't plan on getting this thing muddy a lot or drowned in water. Just want to fix it up nice as i can and cruise dirt roads.

Also, I forgot to add that a UNI IMO is better in sand dunes as well. So if you ever plan on going to little sahara, get a UNI.

Now if I do go with a UNI or K&N I won't need to use the factory metal air filter cage right?

[yaegerb]

you will not need the factory metal cage if you buy an aftermarket filter.

[jatteberry]

Ok thats what I thought but just wanted to make sure. Appreciate the your time and the help.

[jatteberry]

Last question just to make sure. Am I gunna have to rejet my carb if I install a UNI or K&N?

[atctim]

I'm fairly certain the K&N utilizes the factory cage - so don't toss it away.

[jatteberry]

OK ill hang on to it. What about rejeting my carb?

[roostin atc]

No need to jetting your carb.

[yaegerb]

No need to jetting your carb.

huh....those filters flow more air than stock. Yes, you will likely need to re-jet. Pilot should be a 35 or 40 and I think main is a 108. Go to jets r us and pick up a 112 and 110 main. If its a 35 pilot pick up a 40. Start rich and work leaner. with just an air filter mod a 110 should be sufficient.

[jatteberry]

Ok thanks.

you should not have to re-jet just by changing to an aftermarket filter 3 of my bikes have unis and none of them had to be re-jetted.

[jatteberry]

So it sounds like ima go with a UNI if I don't need to rejet then lol. Thanks for the info.

Do some research on your own to see if you should re-jet or not. Don't just take people's opinion.

[yaegerb]

Opinion?



Mine is experience.

Unless someone cuts a bunch of holes in the airbox, rides with the lid removed, or removes the airbox all together, no aftermarket filter is going to necessitate a jetting change for this application. It's already breathing through a couple feet of intake tubing just to get to the airbox.


Stock filter - oiled foam.

UNI filter - oiled foam.

Both are approximately the same size.

sounds like an oil conversation coming up.....JC

Yes, its your opinion, just like its my opinion.

Love how you jumped to experience...I could have won a nickel on that bet. Do you have more experience than I do? Who knows? Do you know me or what I have built/not built...I think not. Nor do I care how much you have. This is a learning environment not a measuring contest.

To the OP, do your research.

[NETRA3]

It's just a 200s....Don't over think it.....It's not a 2t.......You could re jet, reset needle clips, modify the thing to the gills, but in reality, it's a fun trike to learn on, so experiment using the knowledge provided and have some fun with it.
