DIY Installation: Way2Speed air filter in my Himalayan 450

The bike sounds different, but no noticeable difference in performance.

What a coincidence @alpha_omega!! I too had a DIY day today. Installed the way2speed air filter in my Himalayan 450. Tried to install the fuelX pro+ but failed to locate the lambda sensor. Removing the tank was easy peasy work. I went in this order: Small vacuum hose -> Large vacuum hose -> Fuel line -> Fuel pump connector -> Fuel level connector. And finally, that beautiful tank came off the bike.

Use a brick or some kind of support to hold the tank while you are removing the connectors. Some level of dexterity is required to remove the vacuum hoses. Be patient and don't forcibly pry or pull or push something.

The new way2speed air filter. I got it from a shop in Chennai - Mr. Bullet. The owner responded to all my queries and the product was shipped the very same day.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way associated with them.

Certainly added some vibrancy to the all-black and grey tone of the bike:

Took the bike on an 80-kilometre round trip. Everything felt normal. The air filter has made the bike sound different. No noticeable difference in performance. But the primary purpose of this air filter is to complement my fuelX pro+ setup which I will do shortly.

Cheers!
