One of the unexpected benefits of my installation on the K & N RC-2400 air filter was the minimization (if not complete elimination of) the less than stellar performance in 6th gear from 38 - 45 mph. As all of us are aware (myself especially since I have a hack (sidecar) the CTX700 DTC in D shifts into 6th at 38 mph (unless under hard acceleration) and the stumble bumping (for want of a better term) is disheartening. That has been eliminated with the change in air filter. As noted in “What did you do to your CTX today” I removed the original air box and installed a new K & N RC-2400 air filter assembly, modified to accept the air temperature sensor and breather line.
It may have been related to the near zero temp, but since the CTX is my daily driver, I often experience low temps and the performance around 38-45 (in 6th gear) has always been poor. Not so anymore. Might be worth considering as the mod is relatively cheap. Another benefit that I just realized after fueling up is a slight increase in mileage, ~5% increase noticed initially, then after the second tank, back to normal.
