Hi Karl,
I think you can order them from their website.

Thanks for the link, jimboeau. However, I think 102.88 EU is a bit much since others offer this for $59 US. By the way, 58 cycle offered another brand for $59 US but were such a pain to pay that we cancelled the order.

I think we have a permanent air filter coming from 58 cycle once we got the PayPal mess straightened out on their website. This is a BMC version like the DNA de dee got from Greece. This is $59 US free shipping from Virginia. Will report on different thread after it arrives.

That's the one I am going to order, too.

Got a call from 58cycle! Filter ships from their warehouse next week. They said 4-6 weeks and it was ordered 20 November 2015.

Bad news! Received a call from Ashley (really pleasant lady!) at 58 cycle. I was told the filter was in the warehouse and would be shipped two weeks ago. This is some warehouse in California! Today was told the item did not ship but it would be another three weeks! I am really tired of this nonsense. I am thinking of cancelling the order altogether and going elsewhere.

The outfit 58 cycle was working through is SpeedMob.com so don't bother with them!

In August of 2014 I order a DNA washable air filter directly from Telematica electronics in Greece for my 2009 xciting 500ri.
The cost was $72.02 USD including shipping.
It only took 16 days from Greece to Las Vegas Nevada. No I don't speak Greek.

Athens or Patra, Greece?

Thanks, De-dee. Called 'em all. The only one I actually got to talk to a live person that seemed to have a clue was Vance & Hines and I have to wait 'til 1005 so we can see if their offices in California have intelligent lifeforms. The rest either did not answer, have not called back or did not have any DNA filters in stock and/or said 3 weeks to a month. I am thinking of making my own or just getting an OEM part from the dealer.

Just to close the loop on this I cancelled the order to 58 cycle. All four of the references De dee sent were unproductive and I appreciate Doc Wheezer's link but it did not slap me in the face on where to buy it. Needless to say, I am a whole bunch of discouraged with this. I did send a message to DNA via their contact on his link.

Karl,
When I was look for a K&N style air filter for MY xciting 500, I found out K&N didn't make one, DNA filters did, but they were impossible to find in the US and very hard to find in Canada for the NON-RACING motorcycles. i.e scooters. I did find that I could order right from Greece.
The whole process shouldn't take anymore than 3 minutes.
Here is a pictorial of ordering DNA filters online. Posting 1 of 2

Karl sometimes you have to do a little looking, if you want something. Things don't always "slap you in the face"
I'm in my 60's so I'm not one of those youngsters who were born in the computer age.
OR you can use Jimboeau's Shortcut and go right to the order page http://www.e-dnafilters.com/Product.asp?ID=1503 (http://www.e-dnafilters.com/Product.asp?ID=1503)
Well, this is the best I can do. I hope, I was able to make it clear.

Jimboeau has the shortcut link. I ended up there through a longer route.

Karl
The other companies can advertise a better price.......but if they don't have or can not get the filters the quoted price doesn't mean anything.
They could advertise them for $3.00 if they can't get them they aren't out anything.

Karl,
Here are some links to the BMC filter for the Downtown 300i.

Thanks you two! Doc and jimbeau. I bookmarked the Prescott, AZ outfit for future reference but the Speedmob bunch is the one 58 cycle was using for a source so I'll ignore them!
Karl
-
how much of an improvement should/could we really expect from either the DNA/BMC filter?
-
oem kymco filter 123 CFM. DNA filter 169 CFM.
-
TBH 123 CFM is much more than ample to feed just a 300cc four stroke engine. I doubt you would get much of an improvement. It might make the throttle response slightly better along with not cloging up as easily and better longevity before cleaning.

I just received my BMC filter from the Prescott, AZ place yesterday. Shipped in three days. I'll put it in shortly and let you all know if I notice a difference.
-
Did you get to put in the air filter?
-
Did you get to put in the air filter?
Yes, I put it in a week or so ago. Took about 10 minutes. Didn't notice too much of a difference. A little more power it seems when accelerating. I like the idea that I should never need to buy another air filter.
