is a k and n filter worth buying, any noticeable difference ?

It's simple maths that you will save money with a K&N.

A quick check of prices suggests that a K&N filter costs roughly four times the price of a HiFlo version.

The Haynes Manual for my FZ6 recommends replacing the filter every 25,000 miles.

So that's 100,000 miles before you break even.

Simple maths.

If you leave a paper filter on for 25,000 miles your bike will not be performing at its best capacity.
Have you not seen the state of windows, or even vehicles, after it rains these days? The rain has thick dust in it. You can blatantly feel the engine breathing better as soon as a K&N is fitted.
If you wanna save a few pennies there are used ones on Ebay, just give them a clean and spray with oil and job's a good'un.
