Outerwears, or pre-filter for UNI Filter

[El Camexican]

I have a UNI Filter pod filter on my trike that measures 4"dia. X 6" long. Does anyone have one like this and use a dry pre-filter, or an Outerwear's cover on it? I need something for riding in sand.

most of the hard core riders use K&N with outterwear prefilters here in the west coast dunes.

El as a last resort use womens knee high nylons as a pre filter. I've used them since back in the early days of riding the dunes.

And most of the kids who regurgitate information that is irrelevant should learn that there are experienced people on here who don't need suggestions from people who have zero experience.

I prefer UNI as well Nico. I think an outerwear is a fantastic idea personally.

I run the UNI's in all my trikes now. No outers, just a good dose of foam air cleaner oil.

Here's my typical regimen:

DAY 1 - Ride with properly oiled UNI (or stock or Moose) foam filter with Outerwear** prefilter.
DAY 2 - Remove outerwear, just run (still clean and oiled) foam filter
DAY 3 - Pull clean / freshly oiled foam filter #2 with clean Outerwear cover #2 from gallon plastic ziploc (this was prepped at home and placed with my riding gear). Five minute install and ready to ride.
DAY 4 - See DAY 2

**Doesn't have to be Outerwear name brand. K&N makes these too. Most are even machine washable!

The drawback is that the Outerwear covers are tight and tend to collapse the foam filter somewhat. If you have the OEM mesh cage AND IF the cage is compatible with the aftermarket foam filter this is not a problem.
Some filters just have a spring inside. I have had mixed results with these.

I should have prefaced this whole section with 'For a 85-87 250R with a stock airbox.....'

Truth is, I have no idea what the airbox / air filter setup looks like for a TriZ. For all I know, Yamaha could have put them in the gas tank area.

"EL" I've used aluminum sprockets for years with good success. As the soft power sand isn't as abrasive as dirt and or mud. Sand doesn't cling to the moving parts and squeezes out easier while submerged riding the razor tops.

Hey Nico, if you find out that you can't locate one in that size I can get the outerwears R&D guy. I got his number somewhere. He made me a custom outerwear for my 85 250r.

[Queef Chief]

Here you go El, I run these prefilters with great success.
Uni all the way.
If this isn't the exact fit, search R2C prefilters; they make several different sizes.

That's what I need help with. I cannot find outerwears by sizes; Only part numbers.

Could I give you a couple of sizes?? I need spares and can't find the invoice for them...

He needs those for goin out dancin on the weekend, and his wife would notice if any of hers were missing.........:naughty: :lol: ;)

[El Camexican]

Thanks guys!!!!!

Outerwears got back to me with a couple options, seems they do make some that fit my pod filter, but for some reason they don't pop up on their website.

I encountered another oddity while looking for this cover. Seems that the UNI Filter I thought I bought on eBay for my trike is NOT what the one I ended up with. I recall someone on the site (maybe Mosh?) turned me onto a 15 degree filter that fit the Tri-Z, but mine ended up resting on the frame. Turns out I bought a 4" long filter, but received a 6" long unit. I've order another 4" that will fit the Outerwear cover and keep the 6" for a spare while out there with the inner filter oiled and the outer one dry.

I made room in the shop for the trike last night, so this weekend she gets the once over. I can't believe it's been 6 months since TF!

[El Camexican]

While we`re at it what oil and ratio do you run ? ......high octane or pump piss ? .....now show me the bottom of your feet ! .....me likes the old school Belray MC-1 synthetic @ 50: 1 w/ VP C114 if i can gets it .....it`s clean and reliable ......and it smells really really ........gurd !

Still has 20:1 break in mix with VP112 from TF. Must have turned to jelly in the bowl by now, guess I'll drain it and put some 50:1 in it. Any idea what they charge for race fuel out there?

My feet? Let's just say if you bring the toast I'll supply the jam!:Bounce

Race gas from the pump at Loves in Yuma which is about 20 minutes east of the dunes is usually around $8-10 a gallon. 100 or 110 octane is the same price.

That's a decent price. I went directly to the VP refinery in San Antonio last year and pair almost $63 bucks for a 5 gallon can of C12.

[yaegerb]

VP C12 and Sunoco 108 were my favs. Love C12 smell....better than a cup of coffee.

[bkm]

I don't miss $10 a gallon race gas. I'm very happy that evrything I own is setup for 93.

You should see what it costs up in Canada for that stuff LOL! I thought the price was harsh back when I was racing a bike that consumed no more than a gallon or two on the weekend, but the car guys with big blocks in steel bodied monsters really had to have deep pockets.

[bkm]

I switched from 110 to 93 on my 310 and the only difference I noticed was a heavier wallet.

If you're not detonating you don't need it.
