Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 9:22 am Post subject: DB5 air filter |
|
|
I started with winter cleaning of my DB5… took the tank off to see if air filter needs cleaning, but founded air box full of dirt and fine sand. Since I don’t drive in rain and macadam clearly filter is not doing very good job. I need to replace original with some aftermarket… Ideal solution would be to buy just foam and then cut it on right measurement. Do anyone have soma idea for where to buy such material? I looked at Pipercross, but they sell only “final” products, not material. I need 230x110x20mm foam.

Fited RamAir filter... it is a little thiner than original, but fits fine. I cut a little larger foam for better sealing to the airbox wall. _________________ Bimota DB7, Bimota DB5 Mille, Ducati 916, Ducati M900, Benelli Tornado Tre |

I just received the 2 filter set from WMR. When I get the chance to install it I will post a review!
It looks really good, and has a favorable review elsewhere, so we shall see! _________________ Spike C.

Spike, is there some dyno test for that. I'm curious because it uses airbox in different way... _________________ Bimota DB7, Bimota DB5 Mille, Ducati 916, Ducati M900, Benelli Tornado Tre |

A fellow o the Ducati.ms forum in the Bimota sub forum installed these along with a PC-V and could not get the PC-V to work with the Bimota ecu, so he just rode it as is and felt that it worked fine with the stock ecu, nice colors on the plugs and good f/a ratios. The dyno did not show an increase in hp butt the rider felt it was working better. _________________ Spike C.

Hi Guys...just started getting the Db5R ready for the Spring/Summer...and intention is its going to the TT this year also instead of the Db6R that went last year...
Not been into the airbox before....and after CNC's story I thought it was best to start there.....
Oh Ehhhh.....Was there ever a Paris Dakar DB5R race bike?? a plentiful sand play pit inside there...first time ever I've had to use a Vaccuum cleaner on a motorbike.....
Spike...have you fitted and ran with your new filter top yet? interested to know if you find any difference/improvement? What with cat free pipes and open cans I'm thinking an open top may help a little?
Did either of you, Spike and CNC, oil up the foam before you put it back in...like on good old fashioned 2 stroke enduro bikes or K&N Air filter oil style??
at least removing the tank was a little easier than the norm with quick release couplings fitted as standard to the ascerbis plastic tank...a nice update

Geez I hope the sand is on the dirty side of the airbox? Did you ride through a sand storm _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

I think the mesh is a good idea. I'm pretty sure the db4 had mesh and I just put it back in with the ramair filter foam. _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
