I'm sure should put a bit of grease on it. But not don it for a long time haha

Torque specs please?

So true.

dam i have a k&n air filter in mines😮 switching back to oem tommorow

if you don't clean and maintain them ....

I have K&N air filters on my 2005 Honda CBR1000RR and I check them every time I do an oil change because I like to keep my bike running at peak performance. I went almost 4000 miles before I cleaned the filters the last time because I was in a hurry to change the motor oil and skipped the air filter cleaning. By that time, the oil filters we very grimmy and full of dirt. I can not even imagine how the air filters will look if I went over 6000 miles without cleaning them. Also, I get a very good seal with my K&N air filters in the air box because it is almost dust free in there. I also do my best not to over oil the air filters. Long story short, don't use any air filter that does not give you a good seal and always change or clean the air filter as often as possible for peak performance and engine longevity.

Iv been using k&n air filter for about 6 months now took it off to look at it and no dirt or debris has past through? I dont get it there’s nothing wrong with it the in takes are spotless clean

I have a k and n that I bought the bike with. Runs too lean, I'm bailing on them going back stock. Rebuilt carbs with new parts the lownend off idle is horrid.

ni da ye de !!!

Hello I have problems also with my zx10r 2008. The thing is everytime I shift up to 6th gear my bike just revving and the gear indicator just starts to randomly change to any numbers or neutral but I could still down gear back to 5,4,3,n,1 it just fine.. and right there I dont know whats the problem I'm assuming its the clutch but when I watch your video, it might be also the shiffting mechanism.

Seller: K5 GSXR 750 FOR SALE. mint! Never raced. Buyer: what type of filter? Seller: only the best K&N Buyer: She is pretty!!! but I will keep looking. Good luck with the sale

Man. Imagine how many bikes when buying used had aftermarket filters???

Wow. I learned so much. Only oem filters for me

Its user preference. A full set of Hayabusa fairings are overly fucking expensive and the aftermarket ABS fairings i bought were maybe not quite as flexible as the OEM but i also haven't dropped or wrecked the bike in the over six years i have had them on it so they are not broken at all. No cracks or chips, not warping or melting. I dont pretend to believe they are as good as OEM but they do the job more than satisfactory for the price.

I just changed my clutch and my bike keeps dropping down to 3rd from 4th can this be the issue?

That what I'm trying to say from long time 👏

Hey I have Kawasaki 2003 636cc every gear work perfect, but 3rd gear doesn’t work. It will downshift and upshift into 3rd but bike wont work in 3rd gear. What could be the issue?

Previously I mentioned the dirt looks like it came from a seal leak. My opinion hasn’t changed. That said, I do agree that K&N do a poor job of filtering larger micron dirt out. They’re great in clean air environments. But not in any usage where dust is a consideration.

I recently watched a couple of videos where K&N produced the most power. The bad news is it does this by having larger air passages than filters like a Fram. After I was aware of this, I threw my Tacoma and Subaru K&Ns in the trash where they belong.

if u did rock bcm should u just clean every 2k miles?

This guy got faulty filter or not properly installed. Mine inside after filter are sparkling clean. Make sure you install it correctly.

Wasn’t planning on ripping them apart, but good show 👊🏻

I've seen this plenty of times. All that oil is from the breather hose. Probably because he did the oil change himself and put a little too much oil in the sump. I agree K&N dont filter as well as OEM filters. Street use = OEM filter

Yes you should. Fairings are cosmetic, and if you are looking for a different look or full replacement, it makes more sense to go aftermarket than OEM. There are companies that make quality fairings for a fraction of the cost of OEM. If you have the money and are willing to spend them on OEM, more power to you. The fact of the matter is, if you lay your bike down, OEM fairings with crack and damage just as much as aftermarket. In the end, you're still going to have to replace them. Literally no one's bike is going to twist and torque like your demonstration. I have used fairings from AMOTOPARTS, AUCTMARTS, and Monster Fairings. All worked very well, fit was good, and the paint and quality was great. While I'm sure this guy offers good advice, I think in this instance his advice is poor. Even more so when you consider he didn't offer a cost effective alternative to damaged OEM fairings.

I like good information an i could tell soon as you started talking you know what you're talking about i have a question i just got a 05 r1 the guy said nothing wrong with the bike 2 days into having it i decided to start tinkering with it what i found was the oil fill cap and timing chain window cap where covered in snotty thick cream oil and its all on the inside of the clutch cover case oil you can see in the sight glass doesn't look bad but im in fear of whats going on im assuming oil/water pump

😮 Thank you ! I had no idea. Now I now

So I was doing a oil change on my 04 r1 and when I put the drain bolt back on it wouldn’t tighten and when I took it out I seen metal shavings on the bolt from that came from screwing it on when it wouldn’t tighten. What do you suggest I do plsss

Then what's the best company for aftermarket fairings

Proves nothing. Did owner ever clean the airbox? Even after changing to a K&N filter. They don't void factory warranty. Can't be all that bad.

I've been using k&n filter on my 2017 r6 since 2017. I change the oil every season then I change the filter a week or two after in case the dealer add too much oil (which happen once, there was a little oil on the filter). But there has never been any dirt or oil build up in my air box to this day. The only thing special I do is keep an extra filter and clean and oil it weeks before I put it in. But I'll take this info into consideration.

Sweet buggy next time announce the price in you dialogue ❤🔧🔧🔧🔧

I have a 2012 Kawasaki ex650 that shifts into first and back up to neutral will not go back neutral

Wow mind blowing

This is not valid,most modern motorcycles uses the k&n air filter style,from factory...not paper like cars

yeah I have the same problem, I'm going to have to buy the expensive fuel injectors and spend all day replacing them unfortunately.

Have a V-strom 1000 2015, i done 200 miles of dirt road, very sandy one , with my friend in front receiving a lot of dust..........well it pass through my k&n filter like crazy...... Never again if you do a lot of dirt road .........

TRUST THE SCIENCE they say; www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html

That filter has no oil, what do you expect

Thank you for the info

what's the tyre dimensions? thank you

every time a get the itch to get a DNA filter for my Triumph a take a look at this video as a reminder.

Honestly K&N filters are amazing but we as riders need to do our part. I know K&N say on their website that they need to be cleaned every 25000 mile but be realistic, that's just marketing bs. I clean mine every time i do a oil change. Yup that's right i clean the hell out of it and oil it. If you start with the air filter first then change the bikes oil you can leave the air filter to dry (i like to leave mine on top of a fan to dry faster). For cars you make such an insignificant gain from having a high performance air filter that it really doesn't matter but on a bike it makes a huge difference. Now i am a mechanic and this isn't me talking out of my ass, if you want to run a K&N air filter your going to have to put the work in and maintain that filter. Also you are going to need to get a tune or have a power commander so that the bike doesn't run lean. Also the many people i see in the comments complaining that the K&N air filter is way dirtier than the original paper filter i would like for you to understand that the oil on these filters catches more particles than you understand. But like in the video here there is dirt all inside the air box, well that's because the owner didn't clean and oil the filter resulting in a filter that wasn't able to catch the dirty particles.

It amazes me that there are people out there that will acknowledge K&N filters are higher flowing and let more air into the engine, yet somehow, do not let in more dirt than OEM! Obviously if it let's in more air, it will let in more debris. At the track where every HP counts, fine, that is why drag cars don't run filters at all. But 90% of people buying K&N are using them mostly on the street. Project Farm did a great video actually testing the amount of particles K&N filters let in a controlled environment, and they let in almost twice the amount of what a cheap paper filter let in. If a 1-2% HP gain is worth engine damage then go for it. But don't expect it to be just as protective AND have more performance, it is an obvious trade off.

Thanks for a very informative video. Had a k&n filter on my xjr1300 for thousands of miles and no problem. But, fitted to my recently acquired r1250gs and it stated to pink. ( Always 98 octane fuel ) changed it back to the OEM paper filter and pinking gone. Don't understand as the mixture is handled by the ECU according to the mapping. Well, so I've read.

THANK YOU for this informative video!!

Torque specs please 🙏

keep posting this series! i rebuild engines to and this is always the issue with aftermarket highflowing filters, unless you really need those 2-5hp gains, and enjoy spending money for rebuilds, then by all means use those "performance" filters on normal daily usage, LoL

Is it available.... location and price
