2009 Yamaha YZF R6 Modifications – K&N Air Filter and Miracle Mod

by Stephen on October 14, 2009

Always looking to squeeze even more inexpensive low end grunt and acceleration out of my 2009 Yamaha R6 I decided to upgrade my stock air filter to a K&N Air Filter. I ordered it directly from K&N for 69.00 +S.H. Not a bad price for some easy horsepower.

On it’s own the K&N Air Filter provides a noticeable increase in horsepower and acceleration while providing exceptional filtration…and then I came across this…. 

THIS MIRACLE MOD cold air intake is AWESOME!!! As quoted by Performance and Perfection Miracle Mod will:

  • Increase your bike’s performance by 4 to 7 horsepower and 2 to 4 ft/lb of torque
  • Lower air intake temperatures up to 50°F
  • Horsepower is instant from 2000 – 15000+ rpm (more power at all times)
  • Your bike will run at cooler temperatures and cool down faster.
  • This modification feels stronger than a full exhaust system or gear change.

All this for the paltry price of 149.00! This was an absolute no brainer modification for my 2009 R6.  Getting the airbox out proved to be a bit of a hassle on my 2009 R6 so I took it in to the shop and they had it out in minutes flat..  It took roughly 4 days via 2-day air mail to get my brand spanking new air filter fitted with my custom Miracle Mod back from Performance and Perfection.  From purchase to returned product Performance and Perfection provided a professional and expedient service.  Thanks a lot Brian!

Here’s some pictures of what my Miracle Modded air box looks like from Performance and Perfection:

Putting the Miracle Modded filter back in the bike was performed by my dealer again and only took a few minutes to install with a little tug and pull here and there. Other bikes are probably a little easier but I had some fuel lines to contend with.  As for performance….WOW!  What a noticeable difference the new K&N Air Filter with Miracle Mod makes.  It literally feels like riding a completely different sportbike.  Low end power all the way up through 5th gear is amazing! 

I can’t recommend this easy upgrade enough for whatever sportbike you’re riding.

Miracle Mod works.

Next on the list is a Akrapovic Full Exhaust with a Power Commander V.  That’s going to cost a little coin so I think I’ll let Google Adsense pay for that!  More to come on that project.
