UNI filter FAQ
Rejetting usually is only needed when using the K&N high flo filter with exhaust mod's included , however most manufacturers tend to jet the O.E.M. carb engine's a little lean from the factory to help meet EPA exhaust emissions this was the case with my 2006 AC 400 FIS Auto 4x4 ; i still have my stock air filter on my 400 but i intend to install a UNI filter on mine as well after i inspect/adjust my valves if they need it.
What you need to do after installing the UNI filter on your quad is to take it for a test ride of at least 10 , 15 to 30 minute's the way you will normally ride the quad , and do what is called a spark plug check to determine the need to rejet ; be sure to start with a new spark plug with this test and pull the plug and check the color of the electrode/end of your spark plug ( Greyish / white color means you're lean , black color means you're running to rich ; proper color should be a Brown/Tan color ) this means perfect jetting of the air/fuel mixture !

In general, if you are ONLY adding the UNI your jetting should be ok. I prefer foam style filters over K&N for every type of riding except the dunes. Foam does a better job filtereing the fine dust particles when it is dry out, and offers superior protection from mud/water when using the proper filter oil. Speaking of filter oil, I have been using the NoToil product for a few years now because I love its easy clean up and water repellent properties. This may be something to look into, unfortunately uni uses a glue that the notoil cleaning solution dissolves, so you shouldn't use their filter if you do go that route.

the uni filters are the same as stock shape wise...i also call a local shop and was told the uni filter is almost identical to my stock filter. There both foam and need oiling so why waste the money. they also said according to there customers most people prefer k&n due to there more of a high end filter where some customers complained about uni due to there lack luster performance comparied to stock. In my opinion now i'm going to wait for k&n to make my filter and not waste my time with uni.
