Default $58.00 wtf????

K I needed a stock air filter for my 00 warrior, I went to the local dealer (Wheel Sport) and told him I needed the whole filter because I hade a k&n that was finished, I’m trying to get back to stock. He told me that there were three parts, a plastic guide, a foam filter and an end cap. He said the guide it self was worth $58.00 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] then the foam $5.00 and the end cap was like $10.00! How can they sell a piece of plastic for $58.00??

Just buy another K&N or Uni filter, they are better and cheaper. Just out of curiousity, how old are you and how many years of schooling have you had??

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]. HRC? around $250.00, it was worth it, and is a better investment than a $58.00 filter [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. like they said, get a uni, or pro-flow, the mechanic told me K&N's let in too much dirt, thats why i got a stock one on my banshee..

I really dont know how those Uni filters and proflows let in anymore air then sotck there the same mechanizem... Get a aftermarket off ebay for lie 15 bucks i search for you and found these. but remeber you will still need to buy then end cap and the plastic guide..

and if you would like here is a grizzly stock airfilter that i think you vcan use.. call your dealership and check and you got a deal!




BTW remeber that the wolverine, Grizzly, and the warrior all have the same filter sizesStock air filter

58.00 dollars for that cage??? Man I would check another Yamaha dealership. I broke one on my old raptor and i think it was like 15?? 20?? somewhere in there. When i had my warrior i broke the air box ( dont ask [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] ) and it wasnt but 18 bucks.
