This.
We always see people talk about how they changed the filter and suddenly the bike is more responsive and pulls harder and shitlike that. I have to call BS. Nobody's butt dyno is that good, including mine.
At most you might get 2-3 more HP out of a filter AND a good dyno tune. To say anyone can feel 2hp more on a bike that already makes 190+ is silly.

yea for sure on the other bikes ive tuned I saw not difference in filters unless the filter removed some type of restriction or the element area was actually larger
a clean factory filter now a days is damn good
I want to set up my tunes though to match the ones that most will be running
thanks guys
..
just looked up the p16 wow $$$$$$$$, do they make a non carbon fiber one, lol

wanting to tune my bike so it runs properly at all rpm's and doesn't occasionally stall is a bad thing??
ok,
I also live in south west florida where roads are straight and long and hp rules
yes I have issues that I always want more power, Im sure im not the only one
but what your saying, we should all buy middleweights??
lol, forget middleweights, all we need is a 250/300 by his logic!
Even if its not more power you're after a good filter and tune (along with an exhaust that isn't choking the bike to death) will make it run infinitely smoother. This thing runs so ...... below 4k rpms that i'd be even an air filter with no tune would make a difference.

We're bike enthusiasts (and men), it can always be made better.
That being said I turn faster lap times on my 675R than the Pani.

Some are proven to let more dirt through in an attempt to claim a HP gain. Is 2-3 HP worth the longevity of you engine? I think not.
I'd be looking more at how the bike is running and power delivery vs HP gain as its already got plenty of HP.

I agree , but if a filter has more surface area it can let more flow and catch the same size particles

All of it.
I'll be happy if I ever get to the skill level to use half the power competently!

In all honesty, there have been times I wish it had more power. There have been times when I was chasing built ZX10's and BMW's that I know were putting 210-215 to the wheel. On longer straights they would get on my nerves.

This is the fastest bike that I have ever owned by a long way. I love it!
