K&N Replacement Air Filter Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008-2016) HA-1008

The K&N HA-1008 is the straightforward, cost-effective upgrade every Honda CBR 1000 RR owner should consider at the next service interval. It slots directly into the factory airbox in place of the OEM filter — no modifications, no re-mapping required — and then keeps on working for the entire life of the engine, saving you the cost of every replacement paper filter you would otherwise buy.

Key Features

• Direct OEM replacement: fits the factory airbox of the Honda CBR 1000 RR (2008-2016) without any modification or cutting
• Washable and reusable design means cleaning intervals of up to 80,000 km, eliminating repeat filter purchases for the life of the bike
• Optimised airflow through the existing airbox unlocks improved horsepower and acceleration over the restrictive stock paper element
• Multi-layer oiled cotton gauze construction delivers maximum filtration while maintaining high flow rates, protecting the engine from harmful contaminants
• Fully compatible with factory vehicle electronics and emission systems — meets all noise and exhaust regulations straight out of the box
• Environmentally responsible choice: one reusable filter replaces dozens of disposable paper elements over the bike's lifetime

Everyday Usability and Long-Term Value

For riders who want a genuine performance gain without the hassle of a full intake overhaul, the HA-1008 is the practical answer. Installation takes the same time as a standard air filter service — remove the airbox lid, swap the element, refit. There is nothing to tune, nothing to remap, and no compatibility issues with the CBR's fuel injection or onboard diagnostics.

Where the HA-1008 really earns its keep is over time. A quality paper OEM filter needs replacing every season or every set number of kilometres. The K&N simply gets washed with the K&N cleaning kit, re-oiled, and refitted. Over a typical ownership period that represents a meaningful saving, and the filter never degrades to the point where it needs replacing under normal riding conditions.

Performance Without Compromise

K&N's layered cotton gauze medium flows more air than a paper element while trapping fine particulates before they reach the engine. The result inside the CBR 1000 RR's high-capacity airbox is a more responsive throttle, improved mid-range pull, and sharper acceleration — all without exceeding noise limits or altering exhaust emissions. The filter is engineered to work in harmony with the factory system, not against it.
