Yet another Air Filter for the KTM 950 - $150

SportingWood's KTM 950 Air Filter Kit

As many of you guys know, I made an alloy filter adapter for my 950 Adventure that allows for the use of the venerable ITG JC30-65 foam air filter and the well deserved elimination of that dastardly airbox KTM infected upon this otherwise wonderful bike. Due to popular demand, I have made a small batch of adapter plates and am offering a kit!

What you get;

* Precision Laser Cut 5053 Anodized Alloy Mounting Plate with durable Buna-N mounting gaskets won't crack, leak or deform.
* High Quality Dual Density ITG Foam Air Filter allows for far better power, easier carburetor access, far easier servicing and is easily cleaned and reused over and over again.
*Dzus quarter turn fasteners and clips.
*7 sticker

Like the thread title says, its only $150 for a 950 Adventure and SuperMoto, $180 for a 950 Super Enduro or SuperMoto R (because it requires a special handmade filter assembly from ITG, the "sausage" version of the same filter). The SE and SM-R also require trimming the velocity stacks to fit.

Additionally, I'm making the plate available for $50 by itself to anyone who already has a filter, or who wants to order their filter directly from a distributor.

The filter alone for $110 (ADV & SM) or $140 (SE & SM-R) is also available.

No filter oil or cleaner is included, you must purchase this separately. Most any works (I use UNI spray oil and Bison300 orange cleaner). The importer says that other filter cleaners such as Notoil, K&N, etc..., have had detrimental effects on the filters. For this reason I recommend to clean with soap and water alone which works pretty well anyway.

Kits include plate, adaptor grommets, filter, Dzus fasteners, and clips. Kit does not include a crank breather filter nor any accommodation to adapt the vent inside the ITG filter. Any generic 5/8" breather or simply wrapping the vent hose end in filter media and zip tying it on will suffice. I can drill the plate by special request for those wishing to install the crankcase vent inside the airbox.

Please don't think I'm being rude but what are the benefits of this set up? Would I be worth investing?

The big 3 reasons IMHO;

1. Power, up from 155/160 main jets to 170-180.

2. Ease of service, simply pops off with 2 dzus and two twists of the velocity stacks. Ever taken off the airbox to get to the valves or tried to swap jets in the carb?

3.Reusability. Rinse, Use, Repeat. This costs approximately the same as 3 factory air filters.

SW, how likely is it to offer a jetting package too?

Hi Sporting, I just filled my tanks for the 2nd time and got another 42 mpg. This is the same as running a Pre-filter and tiny jets (140,142) I'm at 800 metres and have 180 and 182 mains and this thing cracks. This is all win and cheap when you consider the cost of materials and the hours doing it by hand.

Your right about the no-toil products....ate my pre-filter and rusted the springs (not stainless). A couple of thoughts - if you face the hose clamps (that hold the carby down) so they do up from the right you never have to take the left hand fuel tank off again to work on the carby's. Also replaced the rear bolts (that hold the black tray down) with studs so now I never have to unscrew the glove box from the tray again. The seat once installed holds it all down. Easy now to work on everything.

I haven't found any downside to this and think this is one of the best mods anyone can do to their bike.

Very Interested, sent you a PM

Thanks, got it. Filters are estimated here in 2-3 weeks and everything else is here. I'll be updating the thread soon with fresh pictures of the finished product.

Interested. PM'd you

Good to hear, Glenn! Giant main jets, gobs of hp and 42mpg, how can this be a bad thing? (course I'm guessing those were Imperial gallons)

May I post some of the pics of your install? The filter you used, a super tall JC30-100 Sausage (available only by special order fyi), looks great!

Go for it Sporting (Chris). You know if you show those photo's it's going to change the world as we know it and you'll sell heaps

My mains are large. Might go down a size or two, or just leave it alone as the plugs look right and this thing just goes so hard. Exhaust is nice and clean and not sooty. And this is from a bike with 76000 kms

My fuel is imperial measurements and by my calculations you are getting 47 mpg in my measurements (4.5 litres to our gallon) which is outstanding.

So why hasn't everyone got one?

This looks interesting, forgive my ignorance though. Would this be similar to the "other" kits out there that are fairly popular? I dont wanna name some names, but the ones that claim a power increase and whatnot.

What other supporting mods would a guy need to get? Besides h2w jets Im assuming. I drive a fair bit of gravel, would this system be good use for my style of riding, or is this more for on road type stuff?

I need a new air filter pretty soon anyways, and I think Im going to buy this system, but Im prety stupid when it comes to these mods! Need to know slightly what im getting into first haha.

My kit is similar in that it uses the same or at least a similar filter manufactured by ITG. That's really where the similarities end. Materials and method of attachment are completely different. I've gotten a few questions about this, and I suppose its a natural one to ask. A close look will reveal little in common.

Only thing additional that's necessary is jetting and a crankcase vent filter. Its a straightforward and simple install. There will be a power increase once you get the carbs adjusted correctly to compensate for healthier airflow. Having a good jet kit and some intel as to what works best in your part of the world and at your elevations is the only real hurdle I can think of. My jetting setup is tuned for flexibility and economy with power available at the top of the range. I like it because it works everywhere. Many guys would rather tune for power and stronger midrange with a 45 pilot or a higher needle, fuel mileage and altitude flexibility be damned! That's OK too. You may need to add a tractor weight to keep the front down if you go this route. It all depends on what you're after. I mention this because its important to know what you're getting into and what your options are.

I also ride a lot of gravel and dirt. Air filters fill up quicker and this is where having a foam filter is nice. All it'll need when it gets dirty is a bath and some fresh oil and it'll last as long as the bike. Considering a new factory paper filter is almost $50, this will pay for itself quickly.
