Air Filter

who knew a simple question could be such a topic of discussion.
i always thought K&N was synth material not cotton. they used to make some 'race' filters but they stopped doing that. i believe they made a green filter under a different name for a bit but that company died. the dry filters are good but they are a pain to clean. i always thought K&N worked on the oil that is applied to it, to make the dirt stick to an oily surface and then more dirt will stick to the oily dirt and so on.
i think when i got the K&N for my car, it said somewhere in the package to inspect and if it doesn't need cleaning just spray oil on it and put it back.
so i think ill pull the oem one out and take a look. i think for the money an aftermarket filter is the way to go.
too bad you guys can agree on a good brand, and that chart is for cars, half of those companies don't make bike parts. AC-Delco which is on top of the list, doesn't have a good selection for the CBR 600 Fx series.
