Afternoon

I have two air filters and do not know which one the OEM one is and which one the No Toil one is...I know I mixed them up!

My other questions is which one is better using the stock metal air filter cage? I am leaning towards OEM but the dealer sold me the No Toil.

Also does anyone else have a problem getting the air filter wingnut in place? Took me like 30 minutes and is is very frustrating when trying to put the air filter back in.

Looking for input on which is better, the OEM or No Toil. Thanks

The filter with the rubber seal is the OEM part. I've always gone with OEM for air and oil filters can't beat the quality and fit, even though they might cost a bit more. Always use the cage with any filter otherwise you will not get a seal. Some aftermarket options have their own less restrictive cages which need to be fitted along with an adapter which fits to the airbox. Stick with OEM unless your planning on tuning up the bike to a high level.

I too have the same problem with the air filter... have you seen the loudmouthmx.com air filter/box system??? Looks really good... but I AM NOT AN EXPERT>>>

What have you or will you do to your bike?

Several companies make a longer screw for the airfilter.

Personally i'm a Twin Air fan. There Bio oil and cleaner work superb and fast. As for the wing nut the first few times it took me a while but now i can get it threaded the first or second time. Another advantage of Twin Air is that i think the filter is slightly smaller which makes getting the filter assembly wedged into the airbox easier.

An after market air filter screw is a MUST. Will get it first time every time within 30 seconds, no trouble at all.

I, myself, use the no-toil superflow kit which eliminates the need for a back fire screen as it uses a flame-resistant air filter. It also came with an aftermarket screw.

I hate that screw, must look into gettting an aftermarket one

I ended up buying this air filter screw.

I am using a Twin Air filter now. This way I will have used all of them and will make my decision on which one to use moving forward,
