The K&N HA-7012 is a reusable, drop-in replacement element for the stock air filter on the 670 cc Honda NC700 family. The manufacturer describes it as a high-flow, pleated cotton gauze panel that slides into the factory air filter assembly without modifications. Because it is pre-oiled and washable, you clean and re-oil it instead of buying a new disposable filter each service.
Compared with a stock paper element, the manufacturer says this filter is designed to increase horsepower and torque, and its pleated media offers a large filtration area for long service intervals. The K&N version is also made in the USA and carries the manufacturer's limited warranty, so over time it can cost less than repeated paper replacements. Specific horsepower gains are not listed in this description because the manufacturer's dyno figures could not be confirmed. Shoppers searching for a K&N HA-7012 NC700X air filter, a NC700S high flow filter, a washable 670cc Honda motorcycle air filter, or an NC700X DCT reusable air filter replacement will find this part matches those applications. Confirm your exact year against the manufacturer's listing before ordering.
The manufacturer's listing shows the HA-7012 for the Honda NC700 from 2012 through 2017. The product title references 12-13 models, which does not match that range, so confirm your year with the manufacturer or by VIN before ordering.
Yes. The manufacturer describes it as washable, reusable, and pre-oiled, so it should be cleaned and re-oiled at service intervals rather than discarded.
No. The manufacturer states the filter is designed to slide directly into the original air filter assembly without modifications.
The manufacturer's product page references a lifetime limited warranty, while its blog refers to a million mile limited warranty. Details vary, so confirm current coverage terms with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer describes this as a drop-in replacement that goes into the factory air filter assembly without modifications, so no intake cutting or drilling should be needed. Because the element arrives pre-oiled, handle it carefully and keep it seated squarely in the housing so unfiltered air cannot bypass the edges. Clean and re-oil the element at each service interval. A specific install sheet or tool list for this part was not confirmed, so check the manufacturer's documentation before starting.
