anyone have experiance using these k&n filters?

or are the cone shaped pod filters better? looking for info on performance as well as fitment.

bike will have dyno jet stg 3 jet kit, and modded exhaust. thanks

Why not the best, Honda Genuine Parts?

I 'm running unifilters on my wee 650, only go down the pod route if you are willing to experiment a lot. either of those would be ok, but there isn't much room between the carbs and frame rails, so keep that in mind.

Some one on the 650 site just joined and has those K&N's on his bike. I'm interested in a set. I have run Unies and will do so but my current ride has stock airbox with a K&N replacement. Also the CV carbs are more forgiving to any air improvements than the sliders.

they are on order so hopefully they work, a dynojet stg 3 kit will be going in at the same time as well, and modded exhaust. they are listed on summit as bike specific so i imagine they would fit. time will tell.

Only problem I have with th dyno kit is they used to list 80-82 650's. 80 carbs are way diff.

nuzzi · « **Reply #7 on:** May 20, 2011, 08:53:31 PM »

haha you got me nervous, just double checked and the one i ordered states 81-82. good to go. next on order are front and rear sprockets, i just cant seem to find solid info on what is stock for a 81 cb650c. is it 16/39?

Frankenkit · « **Reply #8 on:** May 20, 2011, 09:51:02 PM »

I thought 79-80 had the same carbs, the keihns with the piston and 81-82 had CVs?

cb650 · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2011, 10:42:34 PM »

Yes that was my point.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #10 on:** May 20, 2011, 11:17:37 PM »

just clarifying, my man.

nuzzi · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2011, 07:00:28 AM »

That isn't too hard to do

oh hell I KNOW I'm there. XD

And when you get one close to done (they are never done) you go out and buy another.

nuzzi · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2011, 03:30:47 PM »

funny you say that because i already found a cb750 im interested in.

Doggie · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2011, 06:40:52 PM »

I just put pods on my 1981 CB650. What problems i'm I going to have and how do I fix them? I'm aware of the changes on my CB550F but not my CB650. Thanks, Doggie

nuzzi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:20:20 PM »

you cant just do pods without doing a jet kit, you will run lean. if your not modding the exhaust you may be able to run just a stg 1 kit, but do some more research as im just getting into these particular engines.

The CV carbs are more forgiving to air flow changes with out jet changes.

Ive got an 81 650. Would you be able to tell me about how many turns out the air mix screws have to be?

Though I am not running unifilters. Ive got ones like in nuzzi's second pic (not kn).

Just put the pods on not too long ago and havent gotten around to tuning them yet, figured you might be able to give me a better place to start than the "initial setting" in the manual.

cb650 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 31, 2011, 04:15:51 PM »

All you can do it go from there and experiment. There are to many variables to tell one good setting. IMO the idle mix screws wont have to be moved much if any. Its at speed when u are pulling from the main jets things get diffrent.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the reply and the info
