New Airfilter Joys

[teamrecon]

Hi,

I purchased my Chim 450 in July and have enjoyed it ever since. One thing that has always "niggled" me was it shuntinng at lower speeds as if it was "choked" in some way.

Anyways, checked everything out, stepper motor etc, but finally decided it was time to replace the air filter. The one fitted is marked "ramair", so not sure how long it has been on.

I won a new Pipercross from tvrcarparts on eBay for the pricely sum of £24.50 delivered.

Fitted it this morning and have just got back from taking the car out. WOW what a difference, the car seems more responsive and the shunting has all but gone

Can the air filter make this much difference, or is it just my imagination ??

A clogged filter can ruin performance and smoothness. Should be cleaned on every minor and changed at every major service, but doesn't happen a lot from what I gather.
