K&N air filter is definetly the best upgrade you can do to the standard bike and a few pounds cheaper that the OEM filter.
Some do not bother checking the Air filter because it requires removal of the Tank and at least one side panel to get at it. give youaelf about 30 minutes to do it and do it before you fill the tank.
I have been using Iridium plugs for years now and found that the bike runs smoother and they last longer. I have put them into a few different bikes (Gsxr600, R1, Fazer 1000, BMW GS1200) and noticed the same.
They are more expensive than standard, probably just a matter of choice, but I like them.
With my 22 litre tank I get over 200 miles light on sedate rides before reserve shows it face but can drop to 180miles when ringing its neck.but with the 18 litre tank that would about 50 miles less.
