K&N's Lifetime Reusable Air Filter Adds Performance to Your Suzuki TU250X
K&N's Lifetime Reusable Air Filter Adds Performance to Your Suzuki TU250X
Jan 4, 2017
The SU-2497 is engineered for a perfect fit and tight seal
So what can we call this new market segment? Maybe it’s ‘minimalist retro’ or possibly ‘compact classic.’ Whatever you call it, it’s smart, sensible, and cool. Suzuki’s TU250X is a part of a growing market share of motorcycles that are small on displacement but high on style and function. The rest of the world has long embraced these svelte machines and now Americans are joining the bandwagon.
In the case of the of the TU250X, Suzuki has wrapped a 249cc, single-cylinder, fuel-injected, air-oil cooled SOHC engine in a user-friendly package that makes city riding and commuting a simple pleasure. However, anytime you are dealing with an engine that is low on cubic centimeters, any boost in performance is welcome. That is where the K&N SU-2497 air filter comes in. Like every K&N direct replacement filter, the SU-2497 is designed to provide increased horsepower and torque. That potential increase comes with the added airflow that the filter supplies to the Suzuki’s little throttle body. A bit more zip when merging into traffic, pulling away from a stop light, or getting to that last campus parking spot is a very good thing.
The K&N pleated filter media in the SU-2497 increases airflow and provides great filtration
Since sensibility is the name of the game with the Suzuki TU250X, it’s logical to install the most sensible air filter on the market. The SU-2497 is a lifetime filter making the need to purchase and dispose of paper filters a thing of the past. To top it off, the filter’s pleated media provides a large filtration area that provides extended service intervals. When service is needed, it a simple process of cleaning and re-oiling the unit with K&N’s 99-5000 recharging kit.
Engine protection is a top priority at K&N and the SU-2497’s layers of woven cotton gauze media offer top-notch filtration. In fact, K&N’s testing shows an overall filtration efficiency of 99% with the SU-2497. Look at the test data sheet on the product page of the filter for the details on the testing protocol. To cap it off, the base seal and sealing bead are carefully engineered to provide a fit that helps prevent the chance of unclean air from entering the Suzuki’s intake. The filter is backed by K&N’s Million-Mile Limited Warranty and is made in the USA.
