- Just a quick mod, fitting a DNA Air Filter (cover only) to the Meteor 350.
I'm not saying it's any good, makes a difference or endorsing it at all, just trying it out. 😊
Caveat : I am not a professional, I make mistakes and I learn as I go.

The filter itself is what makes the big difference, Standard filters are cheap paper ones that will restrict flow, where as the DNA filter uses far more complex filtering materials that don't restrict airflow in the same way.
I have installed BMC filter on my classic reborn which shares the same engine with meteor and here are my observations:-
1) The lower gear pull/torque becomes very slightly more responsive. How much more is subjective but on a rough scale I would say if earlier you rated responsiveness let's say 7 out of 10 then now you shall feel it to be between 7 -7.4. So not a very huge or drastic change.
2) The sound does become throaty and the occasional burst fire is reduced. It is a very smooth firing now.
3) It absolutely makes no change in the higher end and if you are riding it in mountains or moving through varying elevations, you will feel it's underpowered for its weight. So it was never quick and this filter will not make it any quicker either.
Powertronics fuelX lite is what I will try next as changing AFR in my view will make a more visible change. Though I expect that also not to make huge changes, but these smaller changes will eventually result in a smoother ride I think.
Who these mods are for:- Enthusiasts only, for regular riders, the bike is good as is and you can enjoy every bit of it.
bought mine a couple of days ago, I'll chanhe the original aftert the first service ( 1000Km in Italy ). Thanks for the video !
You are wise to keep the original filter (protects the engine best, a different filter could void your warranty. Probably best to refit the original cover before you take the bike in for service (warranty concern). Like your videos - you are a very capable lady🍀
Thank you Ernie. 😊
Just a tip, to allow the EFI to adjust to the new volume of air, your supposed to start the bike from cold, NOT rev it and allow the bike to idle for 10-12 minutes, the efi will then adjust to the new air fuel mix and adjust it.
Hearsay? Where is it written that this is necessary or the correct procedure? The ECU adjusts the air-fuel mixture in real time using the O2 sensor, so what, exactly, do you imagine needs to be learnt? This advice keeps cropping up in various places on the Internet, but I've never yet seen a motorcycle shop manual that tells you to do it. Some cars, yes, but I can't find any bikes that say they need it.
Does anyone have the shop manual? If it's needed, it will be in there.
If you want to get the best performance out of your bike, also install the Hitchcock's decat conversion. I'm not sure how much extra it adds but its significant at the top end. I also recommend the 16T gearbox sprocket. These three mods together make the bike a far better bet on fast roads.
I'm on the same meteor forums as you Charlie, read all the posts re air fiter/ cover mods so ordered and fitted mine today, intended to ride the bike , come back , change cover, ride bike , come back , change filter, felt like a kid at Xmas unwrapping it so fitted it all and went and rode it,..definite improvement! Bit louder( I wear an open face) more acceleration, now thinking about a louder exhaust lol,..
Haaaahaha you have as much self discipline as me then! 😊
Love your vids I have a metor as a older rider I find it a good bike giveing me lots of fun with out a lot of speed and watching your road trip was great all the best
Thank you Sydney 😊
Me too. I have a Honda 750 but the Meteor is my "go to" bike. No hassle, not much weight, and no pressure to race anybody.
Oh dear Charlie you've started a modifications discussion that will never end....... never!
If you've enjoyed this try an oil change discussion 🤔🙄😂
Paaaahahahaa, I'll get the Popcorn. 🤣
The DNA Air filters and covers are a great bit of kit i have them on my interceptor , you`ll need to upgrade the brakes too now with all the extra power 🤣🤣 , belting vid 👍
Haha! I'll be sure to use all that extra HP wisely. 😏
@@restdayrider He's lying. Unless you put the stickers on, it wont' help 🤣
I did! That's an extra .0002 hp right there surely!
@@restdayrider Yes - EACH!
@@scottboettcher 🤣🤣
Hi I got the cover and dna filters on both my bikes the scram 411 and the mk 2 interceptor makes all the difference to make the engine breath better 👍👍🙏
Good to know. 😊
It think is intake noise that people are referring to.
Very interesting, Nice, video, thanks 😊 👍. Graham.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Hi another mechanical job done well, It looks to me as if the bore of the intake on this replacement air box cover is a bigger diameter, fortunately your bike is fuel injected and to some degree the fuel management system will compensate for the extra air being drawn in. The more air the weaker the mixture and on a machine fueled by a carb you might have had to re jet the carb. More air also means your motor may run slightly hotter than before and the extra noise people talked about is an induction roar, the sound of an air box without the factory intake fitted, most prob designed by the factory to reduce noise rather than restrict the bike. Best thing is take the bike for a decent run and on your return let the motor cool down so you don't burn your fingers, take the spark plug out and see what colour the electrode of the plug is, fuel injected machines plugs tend to be on the white side but if it is very white your motor is running too weak.
Thanks Mike, good tips. 😊
@@restdayrider You are more than welcome, checking the spark plug after a decent run will tell you what is going on inside the engine, better safe than sorry.
The DNA filter on its own is said to give a 4.82% increase in airflow over that of the OEM RE air filter with the OEM RE air filter cover in place.
It is the combination of the NDA filter & NDA filter cover that is said to raise the air flow from 961 lit/min to 1917 lit/min. This being NDA's own figures.
Of cause in the instance of this particular video, just the NDA filter cover is fitted.
It would be interesting if someone with a professional air flow meter firstly checks out DNA's own figures to see if they are actually true and for sure checks out the airflow of a RE 350 with just the OEM air filter and the DNA filter cover fitted.
That would be a popular UA-cam video to see. The equipment is out there as are the RE enthusiasts.
If DNA's lit/min air flow figures are correct, I wouldn't be too surprised if the kit as fitted in the above video gives 1600+ lit/min. With a corresponding hp & torque increase.
Depends how much more air flow the OEM filter can handle.
If someone goes to the expense of it, a before & after dyno figure UA-cam video would be handy even if it is just 1 hp or so and 1 ft/lbs of torque, who knows?, we can all speculate what it would be, but many of us want to know for sure what it is.
I have seen dyno testing outfits in the UK doing power runs for £49.99, so for around £100 it'd make a popular UA-cam video to see what exactly just the DNA air filter cover fitted gives over that of the stock RE filter cover. Both with the stock air filter fitted.
We hear of some of these UA-camrs with their "Channel", go out and purchase a brand new bike with video presentations in mind. It'd be £100 well spent.
Anyway, as we have now seen, (and I did wonder), just the DNA air filter cover does fit over the RE stock air filter, a video that I wanted to see. Giving the Public what they want.
A £33 DNA air filter cover then giving likely to be a tad bit more performance as many owners go on to say it does, will we ever find out in a video what that actual performance gain is.
The difference in sound will be at the intake not the exhaust.
Not sure about the filter cover, but tea ….in the old days if the cup was made from poor quality clay, the hot water would break the cup. So putting milk in first took the temperature of the tea down when it was poured.
Makes a lot of sense!
The induction sound not the exhaust sound.
Sounded the same Charlie. Lol…probably my hearing tbh 😂
It does sound a little different live, really hard to hear on the audio. 😐
Hi Rest Day Rider , Hello From Australia . i believe the modification does not make any differents to the exhaust sound but at the air in intake it will . all the best , like your video's 👍
Nothing you do that is not directly connected to the computer is going to increase your top speed. That is controlled by the computer and RE has been very honest in telling people so. Some reviewers over here have been continually shocked that their 350 is a 70mph +- machine no matter how light or heavy they load it or what mods they do to it.
Oh I'm not looking for extra speed, I know what I bought, and I do love it. I just wondered if it would make things pick up at lower speeds. And she does sound good. 🤣
@@restdayrider I thought so. BTW, really enjoying your videos. Ride on!
🤔Charlie, should you not have tightened those screws back up with a phillips bit on a tea bar 😉
Oh very good. 🤣
Filter probably helps but just retain it in, with a bracket.. the cast cover does jack shit except make the company money and look nice....under the side panel!
For the few quid it was, I'm not concerned. 😊
It holds the filter in place, so it’s not doing Jack shit. It’s a plastic cover, not cast.
Do you know if the fuel economy changed?
Not in the slightest that I'd been able to perceive!
Milk before the tea has had time to brew 😮. It’s just wrong. Apart from that nice video 🤘
It was panic speed tea, honest! 😆
The change in engine sound comes from the intake, not the exhaust, so you put the camera in the wrong place. 😊
I know this now. 😂
Hiya just a note not criticising but high performance e filters not only let more air in improving performance slightly they can also let more partials pass through which could affect the internal parts of your engine.. Love watching your vlogs by the way 👍
They don't let more particals through, the material is finer with the ability to let more air in with the same filtering qualities as the original filter.
Kinda looks like they just sold you a hole. I don't hear it. But if it makes you smile, its worth it. Really like the color of the bike.
It's like buying a Polo hole I guess. 🤣
I would have just drilled holes in the original cover. But I'm a cheap skate. 🤣.
I wanted to keep the original for resale and incase I don't get on with the mod. 😊
👍
I can't see that will do anything but make more noise which makes you think it's faster
I'll take that placebo effect 🤣
@@restdayrider loll
Old misery guts here but.... changing the intake air box won't affect the sound of the exhaust and all those who think it does are fooling themselves - think placebo effect. What can be changed is the induction quality / volume and you'll really only notice that at normal and higher riding engine speeds. The 350 Enfield already has a nice exhaust sound but if you want louder then go for it. It's your money and your bike to do what you like with. But don't you think that Royal Enfield would fit as standard the best air filtration system for economy and power output. Why would they not. You've got a low power high economy bike and now you want more power. DNA Air filters etc... at best they'll do no harm. That cover did not look well made and the box , packaging, delivery, and 'stickers' probably cost more Your videos are great and I wish you all the best but look out for these "snake oil" remedies that get popularised on social media. Ride your bike until you know you need more power and then move on to something else, although that 350 is mostly all you'll ever need for commuting through a UK winter. Spend your money on ACF 50 or XCP.
You're allowed to be an old misery guts, we all are sometimes.
It was a simple cheap and quick thing that I tried as so many Meteor owners were happy with the results.
I'm sensible enough to know it's not going to affect the performance much, if at all, but it sounds fun. Rest assured if I want more 'Go' I'll look at a bigger horsey-er bike. 😊 Thanks.
Royal Enfield like all manufacturers have to get their Bikes through Euro 5 regulations. That sometimes means having to strangle them a bit to pass.
Freeing up the airflow and exhaust is a known and proven way to increase performance after the point of sale.

Sorry but you have bought into a con. There's just no way that this piece of plastic will make much difference to the induction process, esp with a low performance engine like the Meteor.
Surely there are some nice guys or guyesses at the local bike shop that you could run things past before buying stuff like this.
Any claimed greater efficiency gizmos need to be treated with a great deal of scepticsim.
That was very dangerous putting your hand over the filter inlet. I know a guy who did this with his meteor and got his whole hand torn off. There were bits coming out the exhaust pipe.
The nice guys and lasses from the many on the Meteor groups that have all tried and tested (there's hundreds of them) seem to all say they noticed an improvement, I think for £35 ish it's not a huge loss if it doesn't. 😏
If its just the cover it's totally subjective and in reality it is extremely unlikely to improve anything about the bike except for the induction noise, which is most likely what convinced so many people that it's doing something, as I said even if you buy both DNA filter and cover its only 4.82% flow improvement over stock at £98+
LMAO!!! Talk about bs! I put my hand in front of the stock and DNA setup, and for a 350, she sucks some serious air! But pulling my hand off of my arm and eating it? How many pub crawls does it take to post that! 💩
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
Keep in mind everyone, while modifications can help, it's the extra stickers that really make the difference.
100% nailed it. 😊
Especially exotic ones like Yoshimura, or Moriwaki 👌🏻😎
i ve put a yoshimura sticker on my honda original pipes , i ve gained 10 Kmh jajajaj
screw that filter. I firmly believe, the extra coffeine on the screws made all the difference.
You have to leave it running for ten mins from cold with no revving for the ECU to reprogram it's self, shout out to Stuart Fillinghams Interceptor DNA UA-cam video that I watched last night and ordered one this morning!
I've heard mixed opinions on running it after, that after a few runs the ECU will sort itself out, and that you shouldn't leave it to idle . Who knows!?!
Late reply to this post.
I recently fitted these 2 to my Meteor. Waited till the next day, to start and idle for 15 minutes.
We all know what the people have said.
Yes vast improvement, got a great throaty sound on throttle.
This be only performance upgrade I will do. No brainier upgrade. Pulled all the way up to the top speed of indicated 75. Which is a realm72 mph.
Not that’s what I will be doing.
I now got a Honda Rebel as my main bike. Due to being able to flat foot it. But, something about the Meteor, so hanging on to Bumble. I plan on 15th, to go up to Scottish highlands for 3 nights, and enjoy the scenery.
Hi to all.
I always soak my fasteners in tea (with milk), the tannic acids and lactose prevents rust formation on the threads. They also make the engine sound much smoother. Note, this does not work with coffee.
See?! I knew I was onto something! 😀
Forgot to mention it only works on british bikes
Old mechanics trick
If it has a cat..get it off..cats strangle your engine ..dna filters do help .
I've seen a lot of videos about changing the air filter, they all say the performance will improve. Only promises and words, where is there any measurement? Exactly what percentage of power was increased?
Your vlogs are natural and honest. Always enjoyable.
Thank you very much. 😊
I had one on my old T120 Triumph, but on the new 2022 new generation any engine mods like that make absolutely no difference. The ECU will negate it. And not just that, when Euro 6 come in it will be 101% negate changes and may even make it worse. Too many sensors and it’s also where they’re putting the sensors. Keep your Euro 4 guys.
Cheers NZ.
Great job, well worth swapping the filter for the DNA one, the OEM filters are paper which is restrictive compared to the DNA version, which is also washable so you will only need to buy it once.
When this new ones done some miles i may well swap it out.
One word of caution, warranties can occasionally be dishonoured by manufacturers and warranty companies if non original equipment is fitted and something potentially expensive goes wrong. They will often try. No extra power can be obtained as the engine will breath what it needs. You might hear the induction more as you open the throttle...but that is all. Great down to earth videos, not showing all the rosy side of biking....
@@trevorgibbs1602 hi Trevor, I don't entirely agree with you there. I swapped the standard filter for a K&N on a 750 SRAD i owned a few years ago and according to the dyno it gained an extra 7 horse power. I will however concede that with a small capacity bike with less than 20 horse power such as the meteor any gain will be virtually unnoticeable.
The difference in sound will be from the intake (induction roar) the the sound from the exhaust will not change as it is still the same. The only thing I would recommend is you get yourself a gardeners kneeler they are much more comfortable than kneeling on cold concrete .
Bit late, but….OMG 😳 milk in with the T Bag 🤦🏻♂️……. Pretty decent size (stock) air filter, the covers (DNA) a decent size opening , all you needed was more fuel and freer flowing exhaust 🤔
Hahaha, welcome to the tea debate Martin. 😂
Hi Charlie, did you notice any change in MPG at the end? or simply the taken offs are more powerful? thank you for letting ke know, I ma line you were also a beginner roder and have the exact same bike as this one, Meteor 350, blue :). looking forward to hearing from you.
Hi, I didn't notice any significant difference to the mpg, just better pick up from standing and a lovely throaty sound. 😊
Thanks for posting, I'm fascinated to see how you are getting on with the Meteor! I'm guessing the "Advertised improvement" with this new filter cover, is that the air doesn't have to turn 90 degrees before entering the air box. Perhaps this with the original set up, was a restriction? Looking at this as a simple person without an engine testing machine myself, I'm struggling to see how this would make an improvement in actual power output unless the engine people at RE didn't know what they were doing in the first place. 🤨 Again, guessing, the "Inlet trumpet horn thingy," arrangement would stop mice or small birds nesting in there if the bike was unused for a winter etc. 🤣But, the most important improvement I can see here is in the rider's ability to know their machine intimately.👍👍 I can see a benefit in fitting a "Reusable / washable air filter" instead of a disposable paper one, in pure terms of long term cost. Keep the videos coming, they are often the highlight of my day! 😉
You say that RE know what they are doing but sometimes decisions are made for other reasons. On the VFR 800 the airbox is really restricted and it has a valve arrangement which is done for emissions testing. It makes the bike really snatchy at the bottom end and when removed it improves dramatically.
In other videos i asked you Does it worth to take a touring seat. U said it does so I did it and i must say it worth. Now i am going to buy this filter 😊. Greetings.
Glad it's a success 😃
Thank you you’re great!!
May be add a free flow exhaust alot with it
I fitted the DNA filter and end cap to my Meteor on Thursday. The recommendation is to fit the filter, start the engine and let it idle for 15 minutes for the ECU to reset itself. Yep, it's the best mod for 90 odd quid you can do to a Meteor!!! The pick up and response is phenomenal compared to standard filter spec. Lots of inducion roar too. Mid range performance greatly improved and 50 - 70 mph speed time greatly reduced. I was a doubter before I bought mine but can now understand what all the fuss is about. It feels a different bike altogether, going to fit one also to my 350 Classic.🙂👍
Thanks Jonathan. Sounds like you're very impressed 😊
Yup, did my Royal Enfield Classic 350 and feel the same!

Did you notice any difference in fuel consumption?
Works well on my 350 Classic.
what's that little screwhead type thing right handlebar beside the engine kill / on switch
That is the Atlas Throttle lock. 😊
i love ur coffee tea station ....i subscribe and like bammmm i love this blue meteor
Thank you and welcome to the channel. 😊
Did you break your T mug so you were using your (C)offee mug? Making tea in a coffee mug can prove problematic and won't make your bike any faster. I'll get me coat!!
Oh Dear. 🫣
Just installed on my Royal Enfield Classic 350
Makes a nice difference that gets better with a few rides.
I did the filter as well. It runs rough for a minute then settles. I let her run for 10 mins then cooled off. Later, I did a short 5 mile ride. Did two more rides this weekend and it’s for sure smoother running and sounds awesome. I’ll bet on fuel economy going up as well
Did the valves at 400 miles and oil/filter at 280
Miles.
This is the best mod so far. I bought from Hitchcocks and they arrived in California within four days!!! Outstanding.
Keep up the great vids. And keep the doggie too! 🐾🐾♥️
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
Thank you Scott. 😊
Have you noticed a difference while you ride the Meteor? I watched another video and made a good point. Let the bike's ecu adjust to new air filter/cover BEFORE one rides or revs the machine. 😎
I didn't notice any negative change, just potentially more pick up at lower pace, but the debate is out as to wether that's all in the mind. ☺️
@@restdayrider the 350 is a solid bike for cruising back roads etc... the verdict is (drum roll) louder pipes and perhaps a bit more pep getting up to speed. MPG's are negotiable. many variables. it's a beautiful machine for 45 to 55 mph cruising. 😎
Thought it might have affected the tick over but seems ok👍
Excellent vid. I also use the teacup-hardware storage method. Hysterical. You’re the best.
Thank you Gino. 😊
The difference will be in the induction note rather than the sound of the exhaust. There is little doubt that the engine will breathe easier with that fitted because it looks like the air intake is less restricted than the original. Whether you will notice any difference in peformance, I really don't know. Please let us know? 🙂
Will do 😊
Good job
The only change in sound in any would be from the induction. There can be no possible change in exhaust sound . The likelihood of any power gain is basically zero. Like most of this stuff you will never get from the people who make this junk any supposed increase in power figures because there is none. But going by many of the replies some people lap this stuff up. But trust me this stuff is junk , a decent aftermarket air filter may help the engine breath a little better but there will be no real measurable increase in power . Your better off just fueling the bike with E5 petrol. 😃 And not E10. To get any actual power increase your looking a fueling remap , camshaft profile, valve sizes , gas flowing. And you will get a lot more power but the bike will be virtually unrideable, you may as well just buy a bigger bike 😂 but it is nice to get the tools out and tinker i guess
FYI, if like RDR you want to keep the OEM filter but get more air, I see at HItchcock's that they have a much cheaper cover with a larger opening...it's about 11 Brit pounds cheaper!

I think you will find its the air induction sound that changes not the exhaust.

Hi love your videos.
Just a question has your bike ever jerked after about an hour of riding.
As I have the same bike as you a 2022 model ,
And I've found after about an hour of riding the engine jerks couple of times or half a dozen in quick succession like a misfire then it will clear might do it again might not for the rest of the ride.
Have taken it to the dealer no fault codes and they can't find any thing wrong with it.
Hi, no I've not had that problem at all, just 100% smooth riding. 😐
@@restdayrider
Thanks for your reply, safe riding 😘
@paul - just wanted to say that mine does exactly the same thing though I'm on a Classic 350 2022. Jerks once or twice in succession then all good...

Thanks for your comment, Spoke to Tek products.
They say they are trying to source better quality spark plugs that's what he thinks is causing the problem.
Even though they are Bosh that are fitted as standard.
Hey Charlie,, there's lots of people watching your video but you only make one cup of tea. Nice tool set. Your getting there.
Should I make one for every watcher? I do like a cuppa. ☺️
I think you need the filter too to make a difference , you've opened the inlet up but if the paper filter won't take all the extra flow rate its kinda wasted !
Imagine making the neck of a funnell twice as wide but the outlet is still narrow , I'm sure there are some engineering types can explain better !
But one thing I do know is that you should not be putting milk in with the tea bag ! 😉
That actually makes a lot of sense! 😊 (And the tea thing)
@@restdayrider I only put the milk in the cup if I'm using a teapot , but my gran used to frown upon that too ! 🤣 Hope it wasn't a Yorkshire tea teabag you flagrantly abused !
Ummmmmm, maybe, a little bit.
I’m definitely interested about your take on this product. I’ll be keeping an eye out for future updates.
A 349 cc, by any other name, is still a 349 cc but, it can’t hurt, can it 😉😄✌
HI, i'll make the same choice: Original filter, with new enter from DNA.
Install a red rooster exhaust if your place permits, without the db killer it sounds fantastic.
Oh yeah and you can get exactly the same effect by using a hole drill and cut out a hole in the standard cover, which lines up with the inside of the filter, I've seen a guy who did it.
I was just thinking the same thing, just modify the old 1, only thing is when selling the bike she can give the original cover with the bike if the new owner wants to keep it stock
Exactly that Aly. 😊
Didn't want to trash the original. 😊
Fair enough 👍🏻
Well, for one, she's keeping the OEM parts as many of us do, and two, the hole in the new cap has a nice rounded edge to keep airflow from being erratic. There is a difference in a sharp-edged hole and the one on this cap. OTOH, if you got no money and want to mod, enjoy cutting the OEM part! No harm there...
Ride Safe 🙏🏼
I saw a Royal Enfield Himalayan owner do the same to his bike but reverted back to OEM as it dragged in a lot of dust and muck with being such a wide aperture.
Good to know. 😐
Glad to see you doing mods yourself. But I think you really need to get a K&N air filter instead of the thing you bought. A K&N is a washable filter that will last 100,000 miles. It will flow air a lot better than the stock filter. I run them in my cars and on my Harley springer. I haven’t checked, but I’m sure they make one for an Enfield. They’ve been around for decades. You change your filter and you will get better mileage and about 5-10 extra horsepower. And you never have to mess with it again. ,100,000 miles you take it out, wash it, oil it, and put it back. There good for a million miles.
They do a filter to go with this, I was hoping to get away without replacing that as it's just had a new one, but seems like from popular opinion I may need to. 😊
Ya it’s worth it it’s a one and done deal. And they come pre oiled so you just put it in and forget it.
Lovely video mam. I just got mine last Sunday. What an awesome machine. Thanks for your lovely review.
Hello from France, I discovered your channel among so many others where we ended up getting lost. What you are doing is very interesting to me. I don't know Meteor motorcycles, and I hope you'll teach me more about them because I've been a Harley Shovelhead addict for a very long time now .... I'm going to go see your old videos which will make me discover your universe. I'll come back!
Thanks Ritchy, hope you enjoy the previous series. 😃

It was a panic speed cuppa! Honest!
Nice video that mod will help the bike breath the only sound difference will not be the exhaust it will be the induction nose and you’ll only notice that when you give it a good handful, smart little bike thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you. 😊
Great to see you back Charlie ….. a cuddle from your dog, a cup of tea and a new filter what else do you need? 🎉
Not a lot! 😀
Begs the question why a cover like that isn’t fitted as standard when it looks cheaper to make!
nice one. simple, more oxygen, bigger bang. very little counts.
Great tweak Charlie. I have fitted the cover and filter. Definitely a bit throatier, esp on the overrun when you shut the throttle. I have also purchased the FuelX from TEC bike parts. Yet to fit it but looking forward to further improvement on the engine running. A tail tidy yet to fit too. Isn’t this all such fun!
Best bike for post buy mods and de mods! 😊
Did you notice any difference when you rode it
now this is why you would make a Harley rider, we all change air filters, exhausts etc to get better performance and a little more noise, but to get full advantage of the extra air we have to Remap the engine on Harleys, i dont know if this can be done by your Enfield dealer.
A Harley would make a good addition, one day. 😊
Hi Charlie it's Charlie hope your well increasing induction will give you a better air feul ratio and the engine will pick up better and have a better sound 😀 👍 won't effect top end or mid range may use a tad more petrol but not so that you will notice.
Thanks I really enjoyed the video stay safe young lady 😁

Hi Charlie! Thanks, I've already noticed a better pick up and sounds much rumbly-er. 😊

Oh my god no. Just as you were becoming my favourite UA-camr you go & make tea like that
I do apologise, it was panic speed tea, honest! 😆
I've always wondered what it did. I've seen it on the Hitchcocks website. Being an Indian motorcycle, I suspect the reverse horn original is just a way of not sucking in too much dust. This is more streamlined to fit, with a bigger less restricted aperture. Could remove a possible partial vacuum if you're revving hard on the original. You could revisit it after you've kept a tally of your fuel consumption maybe?
The dust makes sense actually. 😊

Bonjours,ah ce thé me manquait 😀.....je cherche un mécano pour "schaubi" ma classic 350 bon c'est loin.....avec ou sans une belle musique reste une belle musique ✌️🇨🇵
Merci Alain, le thé est la meilleure boisson du monde. 😊
Hi, charlie.. Mam. Am Suryalakshmi.. Ur fan Girl &subscriber from kerala, india.. Great job.. I like all ur video's.. ❤️
Hi! I do love a Fan Girl 😁
Who will coming on video in Instagram post
Perception is the best HP you can get, more noise=more HP. You will proberly get 0,25-0,5 HP at the best, but on a 20 HP. bike that also something!! To make real HP you will have to go inside the engine, that will be expensive and reduce your realiability, next you will have to upgrade brakes, so it is a vicius circle to get into, live with it, and buy a bigger bike if you want more HP. Please make a video about your trip regarding likes/dislikes and MPG would be interesting!!
I agree! More noise surely means more HP !? 🤣 I would definitely just buy a bigger machine if I wanted to start tweaking more actual HP out of it, no point getting into the circle of costs on a 350 for a negligible result. I'll be monitoring the fuel definitely, may be difficult to compare as it does make you want to open the throttle in a more spirited way. 😏
Offen wondered with those filter are worth buying, good review.
Thanks Gerry, will see how it fares longer term, it may all be in my head but for not much £ I'll take that. 😊
It's often not worth the money, if you get anything it's tiny as in a couple of horsepower.
Good luck Charlie. Hope the DNA filter lives up to the hype. Cheers, Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
You will be able to ride between two rows of cars for miles and miles now because it provides maximum filtering.😁 ( Sorry 😭).
A little tip if I may. Get yourself a magnetic parts tray. They look like an ashtray but are magnetic ( DOH!). They're available on Amazon/Toolstation/Screwfix. That way you won't have to use your teacup as a storage unit.😀 Also if a small nut/bolt/washer falls on the ground and you can't see or find it it's easy to sweep over the ground and the magnet picks up the invisible little bastard. (Obviously only works on magnet friendly parts)
Looking forward to the next vid..
Oh THAT'S what it means. 😏
There are many little garage gadgets I suspect I need; I'd like a rolling work surface / tool box .
Followed you on your Scottish adventure, which I enjoyed, now you have me investigating your DNA, who else could have done that?? lol
🤣
I have 5 different sets of toolboxes/sockets/torx/Allen and the shutting mechanisms all plastic have broken so everytime i use them everything is jumbled. Wish still had metal toolboxes or I wasn’t so clumsy.
Does sound throatier to me?
I think it does too, and a metal top opening box would definitely be an improvement for tools! 😊
Another very good vid. Thank You.
Wee bit more induction noise,any improvement in performance will just be your imagination.
Sorry Charlie,kinda wasted your money.
It did seem to pick up better at lower speed but how much of that is imagination is up for debate. I'll let someone with more gadgets and know how decide if there's any actual improvement. Anyway, she sounds fab. 🤣
Thank you for another great video! I am wondering…If it was the optimum for the bike would nt RE have it as standard? And will it not affect the mileage? In any case I hope you enjoy the mod and keep filming! Greetings from Piraeus Greece!
Thank you! 😊
Greetings from down under. Have been hanging out for your next installment. Didn,t dissappoint. Thanks.
Thanks Keith, always a pleasure. 😊
