Two kinds BMC Filter

[wht_scorpion]

What the different between the two a normal Bmc filter and a Racing BMC filter? I ride the street and highway. Does the racing one need to be cleaned more then the normal one. looking to get more torque Im running a K&N filter right now. People say Bmc filters are much better. Thanks for your opinion.

racing filter will screen less particles than a regular one. Street one is the better way to go if you buy one for a bike riden often.
Not sure, but I think I have read that the street one doesn't do any more than a stock filter?

That's what i understand as well. The Race is slightly better flowing than the stock.

Correct gentleman. The slight advantage in air flow with the ability to service it as opposed to purchasing new all the time. So the $68 dollar investment pays for itself in two changes. It's not going to give you any noticible torque increase.

So it would just be I should just stick with the K&N filter or Bmc much better with the normal one.

Keep the K&N. The K&N, BMC and BMC race will ALL flow a little better than stock. You'll never notice a performance increase, but there will be a very small gain with any of them. As said they'll pay for themselves too.
I had a K&N and replaced it with a BMC race. I noticed no difference between the two, and the BMC race is less than 2/3 the thickness of the K&N.

Correct the bmc race has less filling in it and flows a little less, both are servicable and a gain over stock. with the race they say you need a tune to go along with it and with the non they say it flows slightly more than stock and doesnt require one

One of the members posted this for me and I jumped on it. I was looking for a filter upgrade also and was undecided between the K&N and the BMC Race. I've got an 06 Limited so it worked out and I couldn't turn it down for the price.
