Stock Airbox

My riding buddy has a KTM 890 and he asked about air filtration and warranty. Answer: If it isn't made by KTM...it voids the warranty. Aside from removing the snorkel, running the OEM filter should keep me covered for 2 years.

I have the Rottweiler pro air kit with the big oval foam filter. It gave a noticeable increase in both mid range and top end power.

just pulled it out today to give it a clean and although the filter itself was very dirty on the outside, there was no trace of any dust inside the airbox

Yep it was about USD$350 and gave more bang for buck horsepower than any other option available.

The bike has the Rottweiler pro airkit, a decat link pipe and slip-on muffler (cheap Chinese copy that looks, sounds and goes awesomely).
No remapping done. Just let the bike idle from cold start for about 15 min (till fans came on). That helps ecu recalibrate to the changed system.
Throttle is buttery smooth too

It has more punch by a significant margin. We did lots of roll-on testing and In every gear it pulls away from my mates KTM 1090 Adventure R, another mate on a new 950 Multistrada and one on a dual clutch Africa Twin.
Tried against a new 1290 Super Adventure R too... not surprisingly lost in all gears. Except... 6th gear under 115kph the Norden did pull away from the 1290 in 6th, all the wayup to about 160 kph and then the 1290 reeled me in. I laughed out loud

I was looking at getting the power plate, now I'm leaning on getting the full intake when it's riding season again here. I've got the midpipe (not installed yet) I'm waiting on my dealer to do some warranty work before I give them reasons to not honor the warranty. After that, it's intake and exhaust!

I wouldn't do the full intake system. I know a couple people now who have dusted there engines with the full Rottweiler intake. The foam filters supplied were not fine enough, and far too small for the amount of air ingested by the big twin. in dusty conditions, they fail. The big problem with the KTM / Norden air box is that they draw air that swirls dust off the tires. What seems to be the answer, to keep dust at bay, is a pre filter (like the power plate), and ensure the edges of the filter is properly greased up. And really watch the filter used, has a soft foam gasket so it will conform to the edge of the air box (OEM filter) There is a couple of big threads talking about the RP full air intake on the ADV rider forum.

The stock system dusted my intake, when I removed it to put the rottweiler on it was full of dust
