2016 and 2017 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin Gets More Air From K&N HA-9916 Air Filter
- Aug 24, 2017
K&N is here to help. K&N’s HA-9916 direct replacement performance air filter is designed to increase horsepower and torque while, at the same time, offering up a high level of engine protection. Let’s take a look at how K&N achieves both design goals. Performance For almost five decades, K&N has been designing, refining, and producing high-flow air filters. It is no secret that more air equals the potential for an increase in horsepower and torque. That power increase is realized in throttle response and performance across the usable powerband. That real-world performance increase is especially important in the adventure-touring market.
Protection The concept is simple in engine protection. Clean air is good, dirty air is bad. This is especially true when you consider the Africa Twin’s intended working environment. After all, the bike’s rally race heritage is right there in its name. K&N designed the HA-9916 with multiple layers of oil-impregnated woven cotton gauze media for added engine protection. K&N’s engineers have designed enhanced-protection filters for use in dual-sport and adventure motorcycles. The filters have a high dirt filtering capacity for extended service intervals. At K&N, we don’t just make claims. We give you the results of our rigorous testing in black and white. The HA-9916 has an estimated dirt capacity of over 55 grams, and an estimated overall filtration efficiency of over 98%. You can see the test protocols and the results on the Air Filter Test Data link on the product details page.
The HA-9916 comes pre-oiled and ready to install in the factory air box of the Africa Twin. The application-specific filter frame and sealing bead ensure a secure fit. When it is time to clean the filter, the task is made easy and convenient with a K&N service kit like the 99-5000. This puts an end to the costly and wasteful need to buy and replace disposable filter elements. A quick cleaning and re-oiling are all that is needed to get back to the task of finding moto-adventures!
