K&N High-Flow Air Filter | Yamaha V-MAX 1200 (YA-1285)
The YA-1285 is the quintessential performance intake upgrade for the original "King of the Drag Strip." Designed specifically for the legendary 1198cc V4-powered VMX1200, this filter is engineered to support the unique "V-Boost" system by providing the high-velocity airflow required to feed four downdraft carburetors simultaneously.
Key Features
-
V4 Performance Optimization: Engineered to provide up to 50% more airflow than standard paper filters. This ensures that when the V-Boost valves open at 6,000 RPM, the engine isn't fighting intake restriction.
-
Premium Protection: Features K&N’s signature multi-layered oiled cotton gauze media, trapping up to 99% of harmful contaminants to protect the internal components of your classic V4.
-
Washable & Reusable: A permanent "Lifetime" upgrade. Simply wash, re-oil, and reinstall the YA-1285. Under normal street conditions, it typically only needs cleaning every 80,000 km (50,000 miles).
-
Direct Drop-In Fit: Precision-molded for a perfect, airtight seal in the factory V-MAX 1200 airbox. No modifications to the airbox housing are required.
-
Fueling Compatibility: Designed to work with the stock fueling setup, though it provides the necessary air volume for bikes equipped with Stage 1 jet kits and aftermarket exhausts.

Why Choose K&N for your V-MAX 1200?
The Yamaha V-MAX 1200 is a masterpiece of 80s muscle, but its factory air intake was often a compromise between power and strict noise regulations. The YA-1285 "uncorks" the intake path, providing a crisper throttle snap and a more aggressive V4 intake growl. It is widely considered a "must-have" modification for V-MAX owners looking to maintain the bike's iconic acceleration and historical performance edge.
