looking to put a new air filter on for a lil HP Gain any suggestions was looking at the BMC but there are two the regular and race what are the main differances is it air flow and any cons going with the race one?
Hey Italian Ricketman,
We don't know what year F4 you own, but I have a "Race" BMC on my Y10 F4. I'm not to impressed with the way the Top screen snaps on to hold the filter in place.
Mine is a little too tricky to get the thing to snap-in correctly, it takes me a lot longer than it should, and if it's not right the filter won't seat correctly. (my 2cents).
I really did not want to start a new thread, but when I removed my airbox to do the wellnut fix I noticed the air filter did not have the tape across the bottom of the filter slot per the manual. Is the tape necessary? Substitutions for factory tape?
I use waterproof metal tape that I got from Home Depot. It seals better than the OEM piece at substantially less cost. As far as, is it needed, not sure, but It won't hurt.
Me and some other members (don't remember who) noticed that BMC filters didn't quite fill well into the airbox thus allowing unfiltered air to pass through. Again this is pre y10 MV's only.
As for the stock pre y10 air filters, what a huge POS they are. Large gaping holes on it where the pegs pass through the foam. I'll stick with DNA from now on.

They (BMC) might have done some upgrades Joe, I fitted a couple of them on some cutomers bikes, and I was impressed with how well they fitted this time around, both the road and race model. I must add that they bought the filters out of own choice, not my idea.
