K&N Engineering has developed a replacement Air Filter (AL-4506) for the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Aprilia 450 and 550.

The K&N Replacement Air Filter is custom designed to fit into the air box lid. "There is a baffle in the OE air box," said K&N Powersports Application Coordinator Lisa Watson. "The filter comes with special installation instructions to ensure a proper seal is made with the baffle in place."

The grooves on the outside perimeter of this K&N Air Filter allow clearance for the stock screws. This makes tightening the lid to the air box base easy.

K&N Air Filters are washable and reusable and are ideal for extended use in dirty off-road conditions. AL-4506 offers your motorcycle the air it needs for optimum horsepower.

Motorcycle applications are as follows:

2011 APRILIA SXV 550 SUPER MOTO 549

K&N Engineering has released a lifetime replacement air filter (33-2921) for the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Tata Indigo 1.4 liter diesel engine. The washable, reusable, flat panel filter is designed, like all other K&N Air Filters, to increase horsepower and acceleration, while providing excellent filtration.

K&N Air Filters are effective due to the type of cotton we use, the weave of the individual cotton strands, the process by which it is woven, the chemistry of the oil, the oil's viscosity and absorbency along with the structural aspects of the aluminum wire.

To add performance, simply remove the disposable air filter and drop in the K&N Air Filter. 33-2921 is 0.813 inches in height (21mm) with an outside length of 10.938 inches (278 mm) and an outside width of 9 inches (229mm).

World of Outlaws Donny Schatz Wins Cactus Classic

Donny Schatz and the ParkerStore Team were victorious Saturday night in the Cactus Classic at Manzanita Speedway in Phoenix. Schatz was in the mix for a total of two victories this past weekend in Arizona, but finished third in Friday night’s event at USA Race Park near Tucson.

“Everyone can look at the results and say we’ve been consistent, but we need to win races, period,” said Schatz. “Winning races is the key to having a successful season. We were right there on Friday night before we had a problem with the motor, and ended up finishing third. We weren’t going to be happy unless we won on Saturday night, and the entire team did a great job to help us get the job done.”

The Fargo, North Dakota racer began the weekend at USA Race Park by timing the third fastest in a 41-car field. During the 30-lap feature Craig Dollansky was involved in a crash just in front of the No.15 ParkerStore J&J. Schatz was able to avoid that accident.

When the feature restarted Schatz tracked down leaders Jason Sides and Steve Kinser. He was in second on lap 9 and focused on Kinser. He pulled even on one occasion, but wouldn’t be able to make another run at the lead. Schatz developed a problem with his engine and came home third behind Kinser and Joey Saldana.

The feature event on Saturday night was a duel of speed. Schatz chased starters Justin Henderson and Paul McMahan in the early stages. He worked his way around the bottom groove and top line to jump into second just before the ten lap mark. By lap 13, he drove past Henderson and began to pull away. Saldana put on a lot of pressure but Schatz maneuvered lapped traffic faster the final 12 laps of the race. The ParkerStore car was too quick and Schatz won the race.

“That was a tough race and those kind sure take a lot out of you, but I’m proud to get the win,” he said. “We were really good around the bottom in turns three and four, but I also had to run high to deal with the traffic. It feels great to get back to victory lane.”

In the 2007 World of Outlaws Season, Schatz has six finishes in the top three. He leads the series standings. Schatz and the ParkerStore Team use K&N Engineering products. “We know from our extensive research that K&N makes the best products to provide the maximum amount of airflow to our engines,” said Schatz. “The K&N Filters Carbon Sprint Airbox fits perfectly and gets the job done.”

Schatz and the ParkerStore Team return to the track on March 16 at Houston Race Park in Baytown, Texas.
