no-toil hi flow air filter kit with cage

anyone run a no-toil hi flow air filter kit with cage on their WR250R? Pros and/or cons?

thanks!

I have one myself. I actually just cleaned it today. I've had it since not long after I bought my '09 and can't think of any cons. The cage is a very open plastic piece compared to the screened in metal cage that is under the stock filter. I bought it just because I had already done the flapper mod,removed all emissions, and put the full fmf setup on. I figured if I could give it just a little more air, why not?

went ahead and bought and installed the no-toil......had a friend mentioned that he'd be concerned that it might not keep debris/dust out as good without the stock backfire cage installed....doesn't appear to me that it would be an issue based on how the No-Toil fit. any thoughts?

The fine foam of the filter is what keeps all the dust and dirt out. I don't think you'll have an issue. Mine has been pretty dirty inside the box while still sparkly clean on the other side of the filter towards the intake.

That backfire screen wouldn't stop any dust or dirt.
It's there to keep any one-in-a-million backfires from catching the oiled foam air filter on fire.
In fact, the reason the No Toil Hi-Flo kit has no screen on the holder cage is because the filter, itself, is treaded with a flame retardant.

Don't forget that the foam always needs to be reoiled with real foam filter oil whenever it's cleaned.

I just cleaned and reoiled mine. Rode for about an hour in HEAVY dust, we're talking 0 visibility. The filter came out pretty brown on the outside, but on the inside was sparkly clean. Soaked it in the cleaner, dried it out, reoiled it, looks spanking new. And a manly pink at that!

Love this filter!

How would these filters compare to the K & N filters?

This may be a matter of opinion, but I wouldn't think the K & N would be what you would want for off-road high dust & dirt situations. They are more designed like their filters for street stuff (cars, street bikes), Right?

I've never had any issue with running K&N filters in any off highway rig of any type. It's all about the quality of filtration. The better filtration, the better mechanical survivalbility. Frequency of cleaning may be increased........But so......................

I think K&N is ok, but the No-Toil filters are super nice. I'm about to try No-Toils new non-alcohol filter oil on the K&N in my V-Strom and see how well that works. But for the WRR, the No-Toil high flow filter is just badass.

Any of you guys care to post link to where you purchased your no-toil?

yes, I can google - but what fun is that when I can ask you to post the links?

I had my local shop in Port Elizabeth, NJ order it for me. Does that help you any?

Is this what ya got?

That would be the one. It comes with that plastic cage that replaces the metal screened-in stock cage.
