Boost your performance with the K&N YA-1006 air filter for 2006-2011 Yamaha FZ1 and FZ8. Washable, reusable high-flow cotton gauze for maximum horsepower.

Upgrade your motorcycle's breathing capabilities with the premium K&N YA-1006 Replacement Air Filter, engineered specifically for 2006-2011 Yamaha FZ1 and FZ8 street sportbikes. Designed to easily drop straight into your factory OEM airbox without any fuel-management or jetting modifications, this high-performance air filter is a direct-fit solution to restrictive stock paper filters.

Constructed with K&N’s signature multi-layer woven cotton gauze media, layered between fine aluminum wire mesh, this filter is pleated to maximize surface area. The unique oiled-cotton design dramatically reduces restriction, unlocking smoother throttle response, increased horsepower, and improved torque. It features an application-specific trapezoidal flexible frame and an exact sealing bead to guarantee an airtight, dustproof fit inside the airbox. Built to last for the entire lifespan of your bike, this filter is fully washable and reusable, eliminating the need for recurring filter replacements.
