Air Filter Box Spring Clips

[Bongobreaker]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to get the spring clips for the air filter box under the driver's seat. Put in a new K&N today and noticed one was missing leaving a bit of a gap on one side.

Any ideas welcome.

You might get one from a garage that is breaking a bongo for spares.
You could use a cable tie as a temporary hold till you get one.

Thanks dave, am using an old clip off my now extinct vtr sp1. Seems to be working for now!

Cheers

Have you tried looking in the belly pan to see if it dropped there....? You may get lucky..?!

What are the gains from fitting a K&N filter?

Thanks Jaylee, will have a look tomorrow - worth a shot.

Bongo Bonkers - I'm running off the factsheet on the members pages to try and reduce the fuel consumption so am hoping that a high flow airfilter will contribute. I can see you're a biker so it's the same concept when you fit a K&N, straight through pipe (used to have to Dynojet before injection) and remap to improve performance. A lot of the gubbins in there (exhaust, air induction box etc) is restricted by the manufacturer to comply with emmissions laws - hence why on your bike you get a great big gaping hole in your mid range!

Will see how it fairs and keep you posted.

Wash and re-oil... not throwaway... so cheaper in the long run, better air flow through for better performance... can lead to better running and fuel consumption figures, driver dependent
