There was much debate a few ears ago on the K&N filters with people blaming them for problem surrounding Mass Air Flow sensors, but apparently unfounded (No US lawsuits to prove otherwise :lol )
No disputing there is better air flow with a K&N, which is why they work well in the FZS600 as they run slightly rich to get around noise tests in Japan. Probably why most people felt a more responsive throttle when upgrading to a K&N and a nicer (louder) induction sound.
Higher air flow means is is less restrictive and probably allow minute dust particles through which a good paper filter would trap, but will this effect the engine, it probably will eventually, but the engine will most likely have failed from natural wear and tear long before these minute dust particles will cause any problems.
As Darrsi eluded to, they are in business a very long time and operate in the Lawsuit Capital Country in the world; that can mean only one thing, no one has taken a successful lawsuit against them for damage to any vehicle :eek
