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... http://www.bikebandit.com/no-toil-air-filter-oil-cleaner?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=merchantfeed&ut m_campaign=pla&gclid=CMz7jePio7wCFSZBQgod9lMA1w 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. http://www.bikebandit.com/twin-air-air-filter?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=merchantfeed&utm _campaign=pla&gclid=CKW-h8jio7wCFe6DQgodUXQAtw 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 itthough... 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: http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?prod=SN-2540 One on each carb intake. |
