Welcome to the forum,

A K&N panel filter does wonders (and ups fuel consumption! 8) ). Will set you back about £40.

SKN tuning do a chip which ups power to 86bhp www.scotts-mototune.co.uk

i would have tought that the conventional cone filter would up the power more than a panel fillter...your views please?

I would have though if anything cone filters degrade performance not enhance it. Yes you get the gruff engine noise but if the cone sucks in hot air, which it’s susceptible to then you’re much better off, going for a decent panel filter like Nelson says.

Try a K&N or a green filter.
