The same brand, K&N.

K&N is snake oil. No real benefit, lets more junk in. May not matter if the motor isn't real. :-)


K+N makes a motocross filter that you could literally pour sugar
through... it is basically a sieve. We don't use K+N anything in our
sport, not for more than two rides or so

There are several good filter systems, cleaners, and oil out there but
we use "No Toil". It's non toxic, biodegradable, you take a teaspoon or
so of poweder in the sink with some warm water and you got a clean
filter. There is no nasty petrolium smell either, if you have a lot of
filters in the rotation like we do, a quarter cup of No Toil cleaner in
the family washer will do just fine and rinses out completely leaving no
smell or residue. You use the No Toil filter oil too, again non toxic,
biodegradable, etc... The only tradeoff I can see with the stuff is the
filter oil can not be cleaned with degreaser, or soap, etc.. You need to
use the No Toil powder to clean it out of your filters...

All in all, I wouldn't use anything else. I will say however, do not buy
the NoToil pre oiled filters, they just don't hold up. We use
exclusively TwinAir filters as they are strong and do the best, are the
standard in our sport.

Either way, I have been watching this thread but have been busy, didn't
know if I was gonna' get to this before the thread died but that's my
two cents on motorcycle filters and oil... Remember, our sport puts as
much dirt and **** to a filter system than probably any other sport on
earth.... and to this day we have never... um, sorry, just can't bring
myself to finish that sentence so close to a new season Think about it
though...

I clean my K&Ns with hot water and Simple Green - let them soak for a while, blow them out (from the
inside), let them dry, then spray them with ATF using a squirt bottle.

It's worked for over 200,000 miles, but I don't take my bike on dirt tracks too often!


Well, it's a different animal I guess... The K+N filter they make for
our bike, you can see right through but then agian, we move a lot of
**** into the air box you never see...

I'm talking about this style:

One on each carb intake.


Yes, that is the kind of filter some of the smaller mx bikes take...
only the one I saw, was not a fiber filter or paper, it was a mesh and I
could see light right through it..

No, mine is almost exactly like the one pictured. Hell, it might even be the one pictured.
