    You can put a cone filter on just about anything but that doesn't mean it will perform better. The balance between air and fuel must be optimal and this usually means more air needs more fuel (i.e. larger jets, free-flow pipe, etc.).

    As a result, don't look for huge gains by only changing one part of the system. All parts of the engine breathing (in and out) need to be changed and made to work in harmony or you may actually LOOSE power!

    One thing you may get out of a cone filter is a meaner air-box sound though!

    Not a good idea on engines equipped with CV type carbs. The airbox provides pressure differentials and a plenum chamber function that are essential for good all-round performance.
    On top of that the rear support for the carburettor disappears and it's left hanging from the rubber carb intake manifold, stressing this component and subjecting the fuel in the float chamber to vibration induced aeration and frothing. If your carb fits securely to a solid manifold, this doesn't apply.

    The sound is not that pleasant, a sort of sharp hollow moan.
    I've tried this on my Qingqi and it lost all the low and medium speed driveability and had to replace the air box.
    An improvement could be made by changing the foam filter element within the airbox to a better quality freer breathing sort.

    so here's my first post

    I just got a SuperMoto 200GY - 2008 from a trade with a car for $2000 (regular price $2550), actually this is my first bike, at least the first I got to ride because I had another that I bought to build but it never got out of the shop and I sold it for parts.

    Anyway, so far I only went to the market and a couple of arrons, but it feels so good. I'm planning to use it to go work and save on gas, once I get the license.

    Thank you for the coments and recommendations especially to Forchetto and CrazyCarl, before I made the trade I came here and made the decision base in your comments. It was a good deal I think because I also got a set of mountain wheels besides the street ones, and other extras. Soon I'll post some photos as soon as I finish the modifications

    Again thank you all!!!!

    I live in Honduras and recently purchased a KMF ZX200. I was tried to research it before I got it but never found any info. until now. It was great to read but it looks like the last posts were in 2008. So far it seems fine for getting around in town. Not a lot of power but have got a lot further to go before it's broken in. Maybe then it will feel stronger. I saw where someone posted they just finished a 5000K trip. I was concerned about maybe going a couple hundred miles on mine. With the mountains here I'm not sure I'd try it. Here the asking price is over $1,800. I was able to negotiate a better price, but under the Genesis brand it can be had for about $1,050. I wish I had found this Forum before I purchased. I' love to hear from other riders. Email if you are near Tegu.
