Hey, I got the K&N filter too.. How often you guys clean it? Mileage?

 

End of every second season for me

 

I didn't rejet, but I'm a mile high so everything runs richer. With the dusty roads here, I wash it once or twice a year. As for oiling, I use PJ1 fabric filter oil. Same price as K&N oil, but you get twice as much.

 

I was asking because I saw a demonstration once that showed that even though the K&N flowed as much air when clean as the OEM paper filter, once they got even a little dirty the flowed dropped considerably on the K&N, and the K&N doesn't filter the smaller particles as well as paper.

Ive got a friend who builds racing quads for sand, he told me that he won't run K&N on his machines because the fine sand goes right thru the elements.

He runs after market paper pods with oiled foam socks.

I've always used the OEM paper filter, I replace it every 5000 miles.

Yea they cost $35.00 but..........

Thanks Sprock, I have always been partial to the grey one. The bike is running allot better since the re-jet but it's been raining here today so no ride...
