2015 Adventure airbox re-design

[cookie]

I can't see any reason why KTM couldn't have put the air filter on the other side of the divider. Similar frame to hold it in place - job done.

The air box must get very hot situated where it is, but Why the warping and leaks never showed up in testing is a mystery. Maybe they tested somewhere with no dust and just didn't notice? But Fit a better seal or a gasket - again, job done.

At least it's an easy fix for an owner. Easier than heading off a GS LC cam chain failure anyway

Plenty of info on the subject over on advrider. Like several hundred posts and many pics of dirty air boxes. it convinced me. My dealer said they'd never heard of such a problem.

but like I say, it's an easy fix.

Or rely on KTM to sort it out if you get a problem. Don't think I've heard of any physical damage in Europe, but you can't beat keeping your box clean IMO

You could ask this guy to develop one for you , had some of his stuff on my superduke.
The airbox was really good quality and certainly woke the bike up

So far, mine is clean, but I do like the look of that Rottweiler air filter. Expensive tho.
