Is the MWR filter worth it?

Sorry this is so much data guys... I haven't had a chance to really clean up the grammar from the translation, or simplify it yet, but here goes...

INTRODUCTION
ADJUSTMENT KIT MWR-500

With the "Full Race Airfilter" we developed a product what
achieved and proven to be unbeatable.

Now it time to increase the gap with the competition.
With ALL current sportsfilters (also the std. MWR performance filter) we have seen optical and on data the fuel from the upper injectors will blown away due to the force of the incoming air. Open up a airbox afther a race , the inside of the airbox it is fully wet from the fuel blowing away.

With introducing the "HE" & "R" filter it came clear that not only all four cylinders get the same amount of air but also the fuelflow of the upper injectors was better so the effect increased.

Not only the airflow is important also the flow of the fuel from the upper injectors is important . The better we "guide" the incoming air the bigger the effect of the upper injectors the more topspeed.

Afther a long time period of testing with our top teams we found out that a adjustable plate could increase the effect of the upper injectors even more , infact so much that topspeed gains of 4-5 Km/h are possible.

By lifting the plate at the front the incoming is forced to go all the way up to the top of the airbox and falls down together with the fuel of the upper injectors and almost no fuel is blowing away. This effect will be optimized by lower the rear of the plate . Optical this can be seen by open the airbox afther a race , the airbox is almost dry on the inside.

Fuel adjustments are necessary , but these adjustments can go both ways , richer or leaner , this all depents of the construction of the airbox : the position of the airfilter - the space between upper injectors & stacks and variable stacks or not . Follow the instructions of the lambda numbers and the power will come.

Quote from MAHI RACING TEAM INDIA (Kawasaki Factory Racing WSS 600) : "We had the filters tested by Akira Technologies and they told us to go ahead and fit them as there was a considerable improvement from the standard racefilter".

There is one exeption to the rule , the use of the adjustment kit for the 1199 Panigale High Efficient & Full Race filter.

The 1199 has a difference in fuelling between front & rear cylinder from about 9/10% .With the "HE" filter and "R" filter we could drop this difference with 6%.By using the adjustment kit you can open up the top of the plate and "guide" more air to the rear cylinder . By doing this the engine is even more in balance and the engine comes alive . Fuel adjustments are necessary , fuel adjustments of each cylinder separate are necessary . With the std. ECU & Corse ECU this is not possible . Therefore we advise to use a fueldevise what makes this option possible .

One of the biggest motorcyclemagazines of the UK Fast Bikes will do a independed filtertest on the 1199 Panigale . They will test the "HE" filter and the test the "HE" with the adjustmentkit MWR-500.

On the dyno you will see just a little of the increase of the performance , how higher the speed , how better the adjustable plate works . You can say that the plate works like a spoiler.

Dyno's with airspeed simulation go to a maximum speed of 150/160 Kmh , the effect of this modification will work on much higher speed.

Using the Adustmentkit MWR-500 to the "HE" filters brings for the costumers a handy extra . Costumers can ride the bike on full power but when they go to a trackday on a circuit with strikt noiseregulations they can drop the plate to the minimum hight ( 9mm) . Drop the plate to the minimum hight reduces the inletnoise with about 2/3 db (depending the modell of the bike) . The performance of the bike will be in this case at the same level as the std. paper airfilter.

The Adjustmentkit MWR-500 includes 4x springs , 4x bolts and 4x locknuts
FULL RACE FILTER SETTINGS ADJUSTABLE PLATE
Below you find the advised basic settings for the Full Race filters . Afther these basic settings costumers can optimize the performance to their own preference. By changing the hight on the rear side you can change the character of the engine. We advise to adjust the rear of the plate not more as 2mm at the same time.
Basic settings :
For all full racefilters
Front : 26mm
Rear : 12 mm
EXEPT :
MC-110-10R : Top - 16mm / bottom - 12mm (measured from the foam)
MC-022-12R : Top - 26mm / bottom - 15mm
MC-061-12R : Front - 23mm / rear - 11
MC-080-13R : Top - 26mm / bottom - 15mm
MC-090-09R : Top - 26mm / rear - 15mm

HIGH EFFICIENT FILTERS ADJUSTABLE PLATE
It is quite hard to find the right settings for the High Efficient Filters because the plates are bigger . Most of the models have limited hight space because of the contruction of the airbox or the airsensor plays a part for the limited hight .

We advise to take the toplid of the airbox , put it up-side-down ,place the filter up-side-down on his place and measure the distance between plate and airbox or airsensor , go from there to make the right hight , as high as possible by not hit the airbox or airsensor.

Note: We advise not to use the MWR-500 kit on these filter models : MC-110-05HE / MC-010-09HE /MC-050-08HE / MC-100-09HE & MC-110-10HE because it's useless .
For costumers with the MC-010-09HE & MC-110-10HE we can offer to buy the "R" plate for more performance.
We can advise the setting of a few models :
MC-010-04HE : Front - 21mm / Rear - 17mm
MC-120-10HE : Front - 26mm / Rear - 12mm
MC-022-12HE : Top - 26mm / bottom - 15mm
MC-040-05HE : Top - 22mm / bottom - 12mm
MC-040-11HE : Front - 27mm / rear - 12mm
MC-060-10HE : Front - 26mm / rear - 12mm
MC-061-12HE : Front - 23mm / rear - 11mm
MC-080-13HE : Front - 26mm / rear - 15mm
MC-090-99HE : Front -12mm / rear - 26mm
MC-090-04HE : Front - 26mm / rear - 26mm
MC-090-07HE : Front - 26mm / rear - 12mm
MC-090-09HE : Front - 26mm / rear - 15mm
