SX/SXi/SXi Pro Vibration - Air filter gets easily destroied

[jadakiss]

750sx93 - Since I own this jet - 10 years - I get my direct air filters destroyed because of vibration on the lower rpm.
Above medium rpm, it stops vibrate. I don't know if this is normal.
I don't feel any vibration on the jet.
Does anyone has any clue about this situation and possible solution?
Thanks.

bent drive shaft, broken motor mount(s), motor not aligned properly?

Kawi 750's and 800's tend to vibrate a lot at low RPM. This can wreak havoc on filters because they are so susceptible to the effects of the vibration. We have found that the new style K&N filters are the most durable on the vibration prone 750/800 Kawis.

I would also recommend ruling out the above possible conditions as well.

I definitely agree that they all vibrate a lot at low rpm. Which K&N filters are you talking about? I have had both the old flat style and the cone style K&N come apart.

Personally I have ran the Blowsion/Tau Ceti with good luck although it vibrates a lot I have ran it for 5 years with out coming apart. I ran the Ocean pro bolt on filters the first half of the year until the vibration snapped a bolt. I now have the Blowsion tornado filters, they are cone shaped, show very little vibration, and so far I have been very impressed!

my 750sx ate a/m air filters
so I went back to stock (without the big box) and no problems since

I run proks, no issues after 3 seasons.
That being said I would run stock if you can just to keep the water out, I would if my motor would let me. It wont run for crap on a stock box anymore.

I would love to go to a stock style. I want to try to mod in the 650 style flame arrestors, my X-2 never sucks water and its usually half full of it in the hull.

I've been running ProK's with blowsion outterwears for 2 seasons now...never had any problem with them...didnt even think them falling apart was a possibility. i was running a coffman b4, and never noticed any kind of vibration. after i rode it for the first time with the new factory limited pipe, it vibrates like crazy on the low end/idle
