K&N High Flow Air Filter for Yamaha MT 01 - YA-1605

K&N High-Flow Air Filter | Yamaha MT-01 (YA-1605)

The YA-1605 is the performance intake upgrade for Yamaha’s "Kodo" masterpiece. Designed to feed the massive 1,670cc V-twin engine, this filter replaces the restrictive factory paper element to provide the massive airflow required to optimize the torque and character of this unique muscle bike.

Key Features

• Optimized for High-Torque V-Twins: Engineered to provide up to 50% more airflow than standard paper filters, allowing the giant 1.7L pistons to pull air more efficiently, resulting in smoother power delivery.

• Superior Filtration: Features K&N’s signature multi-layered oiled cotton gauze media, designed to achieve up to 99% filtration efficiency while maintaining high air velocity for the large-displacement intake.

• Washable & Reusable: A permanent "Lifetime" upgrade. Simply wash, re-oil, and reinstall the YA-1605 during your regular service intervals. It is designed to be the last air filter you’ll ever buy for your MT-01.

• Direct Drop-In Fit: Precision-molded for a perfect, airtight seal in the factory airbox. It is a simple "plug-and-play" replacement for the OEM Yamaha part (5YU-14451-00).

• Enhanced Performance Profile: Helps sharpen throttle response and provides a deeper, more resonant intake "thump" that perfectly matches the MT-01's visceral exhaust note.

Why Choose K&N for your MT-01?

The Yamaha MT-01 is all about the "Kodo" (heartbeat) of the engine. Because the engine is essentially a tuned version of a cruiser powerplant, its performance is highly sensitive to intake and exhaust restrictions. The YA-1605 "uncorks" the intake path, allowing for a crisper throttle feel and ensuring the engine doesn't feel "choked" during hard acceleration. It is a highly recommended modification for owners who have also upgraded to Stage 1 or Akrapovič exhausts.
