  • K&N Air Filter

    Ive been doing some research and im thinking about getting a K&N air filter. I was just wondering if they actually do anything as far as performance, gas mileage, etc etc. I know it says it does on K&N, but Id just like to hear it from some people who have actually used it. Thats why i love this site. Thanks!

    yeh K&N filters do a lot, they make your bike run like crap. Don't believe me, get one and see for yourself.

        Ditto. I bought a pair of them and they were only on the bike for a month. Of course, I made no adjustments to the carbs so that was probably why the filters didn't work so well.

                  most times K&N are used either maked No change whatsoever..But when they do make a change its usually for the worse and are more likely to actually cause issues in performance.

                  I have one for sale...if you want it PM..give ya a good deal. NEVER used new in box for 98+

                    This was my experience with K&N it isn't good.
                    Can't get it to run right? Find a trick to add HP?
