Default Stock 114 FLFBS Air Cleaner Enough?

So does the stock 114 FLFBS air cleaner flow enough for stage 2?
Already have Bassani Road Rage, thinking Woods 22X cam.

No, proper way would be upgrading the intake. Stage 2 to me is a cam, tuner, exhaust, intake, and throw a dyno in there.
I settled for a stage one without the cam.
I'm running the '19 FLFBS

I'm running Stage II, 22x cam using the stock Ventilator which is the same parts as the SE ventilator, plenty of air.

With the KN filter in it, yes.

Well, then you used something different, I am talking about the Ventinator on the "S" bikes and the SE Ventilator.
Like FranBunny stated too, changing to a K&N element is done but I tried stock paper and the K&N element in mine and while trying to hold on at full throttle, cannot tell the difference

Interesting, anyone can state anything and the internet is full of things that'll hack what you should do.
Personally, I research what should be done and not half **** it. To each his own tho...cheers
The M8 brought something new to the the table, I wanted one. My last one below, stage two with a dyno too. Twinkie tho...*laffs. I do have more pics of my previous scoots and their mods should you be interested...*grinz

As OldMike said, the stock ventilator on the 114 will work just fine with a stage 2. Go with the K&N if you want to be re-oiling the filter all the time. That's about the only difference between the two elements other than a small amout of difference in flow. But not enough to make a huge difference in performance.

I use the Ventilator on my stage 3 seen below. I don't use K&N. K&N lets in too much dirt. Bike runs great, plugs look good (just changed them at 10K miles).
