k&n are they worth it?

[darrsi]

So how much do they cost (incl oil cleaning kit) compared to an OEM one then.
Plus it looks a faf to clean and you then have to dry it and in the meantime you have a big hole to your engine and a mouse might get down there or something.

If you bought the filter and cleaning kit right now, about £45 delivered on Flebay.

To me it's not about the money though, the bike just behaves and feels better.

Probably best to clean it when you're not using the bike, in your case when it's raining, so you'll have plenty of opportunity, after you've done your first 50,000 miles (supposedly).  :lol

About 1/2 a hampster which is about 1/4 of a cat which is 1/4 of a dog which is 1/4 of a donkey which is half a horse power.

I am now not convinced again

So your not convinced now because someone who does not use a K&N filter has replaced the engine in his bike 3 times. :rolleyes The mind boggles  :eek

[unfazed]

haha dont blame me


i got it on its 2nd engine which lasted 400 miles before imploding randomly, had oil was being raced a little bit at the time but id barely gone above 70 before this happened.


this 3rd engine though is running amazingly but clearly running lean!

How do you know it is running lean? Did you have it dynoed?
