FOX Racing Blitz Gear, And More - Product Testing

It oiled up like any other filter and fit just perfectly, and I didn't notice any difference in power or performance. No perceptible dirt has passed through, despite some dry riding in silty mountain puff-puff dust. I've used the $24.95 filters in a few other bikes, even replacing the foam/rubber/foam Honda CRF filters, with a perfect fit and excellent performance. They can be easily cleaned and have not started rotting at all. The biggest thing has been durability. The sealing rim lasts and shows very few signs of wear, so far going about triple the time of a stock filter on the Yamaha. So if you need a filter, these come recommended with flying colors, or at least in red. -Jimmy Lewis

WeaponMX
G-Zero Gas-Tank Foam
I'll have to admit, I had my reservations about this product; I've spent my whole life trying to keep foreign objects out of my gas tank, and now I was going to put one in? The WeaponMX G-Zero gas-tank foam is a series of foam blocks that go into your tank to keep fuel from sloshing around. Fuel weighs more than six pounds per gallon and can slosh about violently as you ride. This makes the bike feel heavier, yet most of us never realize this is happening. I had never paid attention to how much this affects a bike until I tried out the $49.95 G-Zero foam.

The stuff took about two minutes to put in, and about two corners into my next moto I was hooked. My Honda CRF450 felt different in the handling department. The change was subtle, but the whole bike felt much more stable, especially in rutted corners. The biggest issue is that with the foam installed, it's very difficult to see how much fuel is actually in your tank. Overall, I'm a big fan of the G-Zero tank foam, and I would consider it a great advantage for any serious racer.

No-Toil Vent-Hoseless Gas Cap
Most of the billet-aluminum gas caps just don't do anything for me. They are heavy and would better serve as a paperweight holding down brochures than as a bit of fashion adding weight to one of my bikes. But No-Toil took the cap one step further and added a vent-hoseless feature to its billet gas cap.

That gives me a reason to put it on. It works just like any other heavier-than-plastic gas cap except no tube gets in the way or pinches off and you no longer suffer from one of the most-frustrating tuning issues ever to puzzle a rider/mechanic: the vacuum-locked gas tank. This cap comes anodized in four colors-blue, red, silver or black-to suit your style. And no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't get gas to spill out. The one-way valve works even when the bike is completely upside-down (on purpose, of course)! At $79.95, it isn't cheap, but looking good is always going to cost you. -Jimmy Lewis
