runner Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I was checking my K&N filter last night & came across a small 'filter' towards the back of the airbox ( on the bottom). It's approx. 1.5" x 2" & has a large hose (breather?) running towards the front of the bike. What is this filter & what's a good place to find a replacement? Mine has a pretty good size tear in it. (98 CBXX). thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon haney Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Sounds like someone removed the PAIR valves, and instead of blocking off that hole in the air-box, they just put a filter on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I posted about this before but can't find it. The filter is only on carbed Birds as far as I know but mine turned to dust and wanted people to know to check them. You can order the filter from Honda for only a couple bucks so get some oil filters or other OEM parts at the same time if you are ordering on-line. 17254-MAT-000 FILTER, SUB-AIR CLEANER $1.84 http://www.hondadirectline.com/OEMpartfinder.htm#/Honda/CBR1100XX_A_(98)_MOTORCYCLE,_JPN,_VIN%23_JH2SC350-WM100001_TO_JH2SC350-WM101089/AIR_CLEANER_97-98/CBR1100XX-98-JPN-A/14MATVE1AMAT3F2000CA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 I believe it's for the PCV system, not positive. If it is it's basically an oil trap to keep oil mist from coming into the airbox. I can check mine tomorrow if needed to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
