Vehicle 98VTR1000F reverse
The OEMElement on my VTR1000F was dirty, so I replaced it with a SIMOTA Element for the first time.
I have seen some impressions that it cannot be attached to some types of vehicles, but fortunately it fits our vehicle without any problems.
It is easy and helpful to simply replace it exactly like the OEM Product.
It may be used as a replacement when OEM Parts are no longer available in the future.
I think anyone who can use Driveretc. tools can replace it.

Replaced due to engine malfunction
Replaced the plug and air cleaner due to engine malfunction. It is now in good condition. After all, maintenance is essential for a used motorcycle that is more than 15 years old. View detail

Requires care in installation
Used on GSX-R1000k6.
I was worried about the quality of the product because it is cheaper than other manufacturers, but the rubber part is thicker and more solid than OEM.
However, because of its thickness, the lid does not close when it hits some barbs on the Air cleaner's lid that are designed to reduce the Element of the lid. However, due to its thickness, the lid does not close when it is hit by some stick-like protrusions that are there to restrain the element of the lid of the air cleaner.
If I cut a few millimeters off the protrusion, it closes fine, but if I return it to OEM or try another manufacturer's, the element plays up and I have to replace the lid.
It felt quite forced, but I was able to tighten it and fit it in. I am not sure if the Element is distorted inside or if there is a gap, but I think Large is sturdy.
My impression of the replacement is that it does not feel dramatically different, and I think it feels good because it is cheaper than other Manufactures in terms of Cost and more efficient than OEM.

It's neither good nor bad
Since I had not changed the OEM Air Cleaner Element once since I bought the car used, I bought it because the price was not so different and I expected performance and durability. The part that adheres to the Air cleanerBox is not Sponge like OEM Product, but Rubber, which is good because it can be fixed firmly when the lid is closed! (^^) The only thing that doesn't get ripped apart by degradation and vibration is ○.
I was not able to feel the intake performance, but I think that the intake resistance is decreasing because the embrace at AxelOff was weakening. Now, I expect durability.
