Thanks this is good information to know in addition to the HP gains. I'll have to checkout the sprint filter when it comes time to change the OEM filter out.

What have you raced and what was the result.

I bought the cheaper one, don't do track days and feel it is the better choice if your not after that last 1/2 hp but would rather have the superior filtration.

Re: What have you raced and what was the result.
Like a few others, I went with the cheaper version. Consider buying it from vcyclenut, a fellow member of this site. He has an H2 SX SE himself.wellcraft wrote: Fri Apr 26, 2019 6:22 pmThanks this is good information to know in addition to the HP gains.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity

Re: What have you raced and what was the result.
From your perspective why is the F1-85 totally worth it? What advantage does it offer over the standard Sprint filter.

Re: What have you raced and what was the result.
I am on the fence over which one to buy. From the description the only difference I see if the water barrier on the F1. I wish I could say I have never been caught in driving rain for 8 hrs on a bike but I cannot.

Re: What have you raced and what was the result.
So is the standard filter not waterproof, washable or reusable? If I get caught in a downpour am I going to have issues with the standard filter?Kwee wrote: Wed May 01, 2019 9:56 am High Airflow, Waterproof, Reusage, Washage, etc
