Warning for Twin Air Power Flow Kit

[wanna_be_ridn]

well i run a 06 twin air power flow kit on my 450r, and i want to for warn other users before what happened to me happens to more. there is a nut that bolts the cage of the filter to the mounting bracket on your intake, this nut worked its way out and into my motor and broke 3 vavles, F'd up the piston and cylinder, so i would def suggest trying to find a way to make sure that nut and bolt do not come undone on you, heres a few pics. please post your questions, comments and or suggestions.

Yea id switch to a nut with nylon in it so it cant work its way loose. that sucks cause ur cylinder valves and piston got damage gonna be pricy repair id call twin air and let them know what happened who knows maybe theyll help most likley not but worth a shot.

I would check with Twin Air before I went and fixed it. It's their product and they SHOULD be responsible for fixing it. Let us know.

Sparks makes a real nice foam filter kit, it has no nuts to come loose and ruin a perfectly good engine ..

i have a twin air filter on my 06 and i dont understand the nut your talking about. my kit came with the filter and an adapter to mount the filter to the airbox. the setup i have doenst use the stock cage.
post some pic's of the airfilter setup.

he must have somehow mounted the 04-05 filter. that has the billet ring, cage, wingnut/bolt.

i also have the twin air for my 06, has adapter ring, 2 clamps and filter.

well other then blowing your motor....just kidding...what is the advantage of the pro flow kit?
by they way what does being sponsored by them have to do with anything?im sponsored by them too.

i want to be sponsored too.
j/k

if you're sponsored, i would think you'd have a better chance at getting $$ for repairs.

just saying that im not a dumbass and would try to put on a air filter that isnt even near close to fitting.....

huh?
