K&N air filter - esetest - 23-02-14
Noticed that the K&N air filter isn't as tall as the Yamaha one - about 5mm shorter and only has a gasket for the top lip . The Yamaha one has a gasket top and bottom. is this correct .

I got the filter from Wemoto . The sticker on the box does say Fazer FZS1000 01 -05 . Part no:YA-1001.

Does the K&N make much difference to performance etc
Re: K&N air filter - Falcon 269 - 24-02-14
Not without rejetting. It can lean out the fuelling a bit at certain throttle settings, too, which isn't ideal but won't cause any damage.
