I'm sorry for that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Off topic.


02 vs 03 AIR FILTER (who cares about what tows the 650 to its hunting grounds)

I might be a little hard on the 03 filter. The twin air was about 1/2" taller than the cage, so installing it causes it to press against the top and bottom and it should seal. Also the twin air has a foam lip which is squeezed onto the filter bracket and should seal?

 

I've not seen a 03 Prarie airbox but have heard it's the same as the airbox on the V Force. Can anyone confirn this? I'd like to get a twin air filter and want to know if the 03 Prarie filter will fit the v Force. Thanks!

I sold my camera to pay to heat the house. I would take a picture if I still had it.

 

Nyroc, if times are tough up there, move on down to Mississippi and I'll be glad to let you do some work on my 650! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I have an 03 airbox with a twin air filter and it seems to seal real good. I've removed the filter when I removed the airbox and everything inside seems to be spotless. And I agree, the Ford is the way to go.

 

FORD Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww and you ride a Kawasaki NYROC come on dude Chevy is the Truck and the others are grocery carriers. HEHE LOL Just Kiddin dude.

 

I apologize for being off topic, but what I stated is a fact. LAST year(2002) GM outsold the F-series plain and simple. Let alone GM only counts the Silverado/Sierra series which is 1500, 1500HD, 2500, 2500HD, and 3500's. Ford count consists of F150, F250, F350SRW, F350DRW, F450, F550, F650, F750, etc........ This year (2003) is a different story, although Ford has many troubles with their new PSD, they have upped the bar on power across the board with their engines. I think Chevy screwed the pooch when they made the Silverado series into Avalanche styling. Their sales have dropped since.

I just had to get my point straightened out. Like Nyroc said, It really doesn't matter what hauls your 650. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

on the 03 filter the metal cage squeases the bottom of the filter. So there is no leak there. It fits tight on top but i still use some grease around the top edge of the filter as a precaution. I have had my 03 for almost a year now and check it for leaks constantly. All has been good. No leaks.

 

Hey mtecate, since you have both a V Force and a 03 Prarie. Can you confirm that they have the same airbox? I want to get a twin air filter for the Vforce and need to know if a 03 Prarie twin air will fit the V Force. Thanks!

I'm kinda bummed out, I thought the 03 airbox was an improvement. I got a letter from Kawasaki for a recall on the airfilter. Haven't had time to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]take it back to the dealer. I was planning on getting an aftermarket one anyway, but don't know which one? NYROC I wish you lived closer, I could use a good mechanic. Maybe I could pay your light bill! LOL

 

INTHEWND

The only aftermarket air filter avaible for an 03 is a Twin Air.
I got mine from rockymountainatv.com
