Boost your cruiser's performance with the K&N YA-1199 Air Filter for 1999-2009 Yamaha XVS1100 V-Star models. Washable, reusable, and engineered for high airflow.

Unleash the true potential of your cruiser with the K&N High-Flow Replacement Powersport Air Filter (Part No. YA-1199), specifically custom-engineered for the 1999–2009 Yamaha XVS1100 V-Star lineup (including Classic, Custom, Midnight, and Silverado variants).

Unlike restrictive, disposable factory paper filters that clog easily and end up in landfills, K&N air filters utilize an advanced premium media design. Constructed with 4 to 6 layers of woven cotton gauze pleated between epoxy-coated aluminum wire mesh, this filter allows up to 50% more airflow into your V-twin engine. This increased breathability optimizes combustion, improving throttle response and adding a noticeable boost to horsepower and acceleration.

The filter is designed to fit snugly inside your original factory air box with an application-specific sealing bead, ensuring an airtight lock against dust and debris without requiring any complex modifications or carburetor rejetting. Best of all, it arrives pre-oiled and ready to install. When it eventually gets dirty, it can be washed, re-oiled, and reinstalled for a lifetime of premium engine protection.
