R9T: AIR FILTER - Easy DIY How To Install 

Hey there @shrek6389, thanks for your kind comment🙂. I'm constantly trying to provide value to our R9T community by sharing my experiences with my bikes, so I truly appreciate your feedback on how im going 😀. As for the little scissor lift. You are right, it was on a bit of a lean. Initially it was fine, but then after a period of time when I had the swing arm out for bearing work, I walked in to my workshop to find it on that lean. When I bought it I was on a tight budget due to more important bike parts I had bought and had little cash left for a "proper" lift. This one was NZ$90 and that's about what the metal in it is worth😆. But it did its job, and I can repair it. Naturally I wouldn't recommend it. You only really need one if you want to take all compression out of the swing arm for various rear end jobs. E.g replacing shock,removing swingarm, driveshaft maintenance. Even then you dont need one, as you can actually simply use a car Jack and a piece of wood (placed under the sump). I recommend instead investing in a front paddock stand which lifts from the lower yoke/triple tree (not the forks), and a rear paddock stand and use the car Jack on those rare occasions you need to release compression on the rear end. Hope that helps :-) Take care out there 😀👊✊️👍

Hey there @Raff0u, Thanks for the question.😃 I'm assuming you have installed a high performance/high airflow filter. In short, It depends. If everything else is stock e.g. headers, silencer/muffler, cat remains etc. Meaning you have only changed the Air Filter, then the DME will handle it fine. The DME works within a range. If you make additional modifications, like replace your headers, straight-through pipes, catless etc.. then you will start to move outside the range of the stock DME at which time a ECU Flash or Piggy-Back Module would be a good idea to ensure you dont run the engine lean, running lean is something you want to avoid. Naturally if your intention was to change the air filter for more power, then a remap, or piggy-back Module would be recommended. Sorry that's not a detailed explaination, but I hope it helps with your question.👊✊️👍
