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 .

Ive read a lot about GenII K&Ns not fitting properly...

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

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.

Haven't had the chance to try it out yet . but hopefully I will soon , busy with work at the mo , though not complaining about that .
