This is K&N's washable replacement air filter for the 2016–2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R, part number KA-1016. K&N's application list covers every trim of the bike in those years — base, ABS, KRT Edition and the 2018 SE — and the 2017–2019 ZX-10RR.
Check your year. K&N does not list this filter for the ZX-10R from 2022 on, so it is not offered for those bikes here.
It takes the place of the stock paper element in the airbox. K&N shapes it to this airbox, and states that fuel-management changes are not typically required. This is K&N's street replacement filter, not their race-spec design.
It arrives oiled and ready to fit, and at service time it is cleaned and re-oiled rather than thrown away.
Key Technology & Design
Oiled cotton gauze media
Cotton gauze layers treated with a tacking agent to hold dirt. K&N states the media is designed to raise airflow for improved horsepower, throttle response and acceleration while protecting the engine.
Trapezoidal panel shape
Cut to the ZX-10R's airbox so it seats in the stock housing with no adapters.
No fuel-management changes typically needed
K&N states this filter does not typically require fuel-management modifications.
Washable and reusable
Clean and re-oil rather than replace. K&N calls for 0.71 oz (21 ml) of filter oil per re-oiling.
