PRODUCT: UNI Filter
PRICE: $25-$30
WHERE TO BUY: Basically most pitbike shops but it could sometimes be hard to find the right size, or you can get them online.
Well, if you want to make a noticeable amount of faster throttle response a UNI air filter is definitely a MUST HAVE. I didn't think putting one on would make so much of a difference. Compared to the stock airbox which is restrictive as hell, this definately makes your Honda CRF50F perform A LOT better. It also makes the engine sound better which is a bonus
It will take you about 5 minutes to install your UNI.
I will guide you through the steps (I have no pics sorry)
1. Remove your seat and plastics
2. Remove your fuel tank (The reason for this is that the nut that holds the Earth wire and the top of the airbox in place is inline with the fuel tap so the nut is difficult to undo)
3. Take off the nut that holds the top of the airbox to the frame. You can put it straight back on because the UNI Filter doesn't use that bracket (you still have to put it back on for the Earth Wire.)
4. Undo the Phillips head screw that closes the hose clamp that holds the airbox in place.
OK so you should have your airbox off now and you simply slide on the UNI Filter and do up the screw on the hose clamp and you are done!
You don't need to adjust your carby in any way.
As soon as you kick over your 50 you will notice a difference in throttle response!
WHAT I LIKED
Performance: I love the way my bike revs up a lot faster and it has a small gain in power compared to the restrictive airbox.
Looks: I simply think a foam filter looks better than an airbox haha. The UNI airfilters come in Red and Green in colour. You can also buy a straight one or a 30 degree angle bent one. I am currently running a green angled UNI.
FIT: It is basically a "bolt on" modification which a massive difference in performance.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
Getting the old stock airbox off hahaha. When you have a UNI you don't need to get the tank off which makes life easier.
Comments:
Seriously consider getting one of these as a first modification for your CRF50F because they make a big difference for the little money.
MY RATING - 9/10
Q&A
Q. I have just put a UNI on my CRF and now it's not starting, what do I do?
A. Check that you put the nut back on where the airbox was held onto the frame, the earth wire has to be on firm.
Q. What size UNI fits my stock CRF50F?
A. 29mm,30mm,31mm (maybe a couple more but these will be your average sizes)
Well here are some pics of my bike with the UNI filter.
might be hard to see in this pic \/
cheers guys
