    Default JT's Air Filter

    I do all my own work on my 2011 RTS and just got tired of removing the Frunk to remove the stock air cleaner. I just installed JT's air filter and removed the original and the resonator. What a difference! My butt dynamo says I have more pep and the engine is much easier to access. If you have an RT, you may want to consider doing this.

    You will love the easy access you have now to do your own maintenance - especially the front spark plug and cooling system plumbing. Plus the under body temps will run so much cooler.

    How is the sound level? I bought the filter for my dad's spyder, but haven't installed it yet.

    The sound goes up when the throttle is opened up. When cruising at a steady speed it is just a little louder than normal. I don't like load bikes, but I can live with this. JT offers a foam pre-filter to reduce the noise if it becomes an issue. OP

    I had the same concerns and delayed a long time in getting the filter. It was more noticeable at first but after running it for awhile I found that it was not objectionable and at cruising speed it was not noticeable at all. I also put the muffler on mine that JT sells. I also noticed that it would roar for a bit if I punched it but if I would back off a little it was ok.
