Hi, Ferry Fodor. You don’t rinse it in the same direction as air flow. You rinse it in opposite direction, from clean side out. So you can rinse all dirt out. I’m just telling you that, because K&N manual says that. I use those filters long time now and I’m loving them. All the best!
dawidos thanks for pointing this to me buddy ,always appreciate community support :) .Just had a chat with tech support from k&n and you right . You need to flush from the clean side . Thanks again buddy
I think there is a mistake when you're saying that the filter is for 50000 miles usage. I have the same, and on the package is written that the usage of the filter is warranted for 1000000 miles. The 50000 miles story is for the cleaning, in highway use or often in Dusty conditions.
Caveat Emptor. My mechanic (and no he's not BMW certified, he's a common sense rebel) advised me NOT to use either this K&N filter or any other similar product. His reason is about as simple as it is logical: The values that were computed into the BMW R1200GS computer at the BMW factory run the engine at optimal value within the specs of what the engine can handle, giving it the amount of air it needs and tailored to match the specs of the 'paper version' filter. In other words, getting more air is NOT good, and getting less air not good neither. This has a chance to ruin your cylinders if I understood his warning correctly. The story would be different, if it were possible to change the values of the bike's computer and align them to the K&N filter's capabilities within the limits of the engine's tolerances. But you can't. So why ruin something that works well (paper filters last about 15000 km) and actually are dirt cheap between 10 to 20 Euro's a piece. I switched back to paper thanks very much. I'm glad I only paid 60 Euros for a filter I won't be using, while the cost of repairing the engine could have been a whole lot worse. KISS method (Keep It Simple Sweetheart) and Don't fix it when it ain't broken, are two very good approaches indeed.

Cum se curata filtru asta k&n?
lungu dan se spala la robinet la fiecare 16000 de km..... In romania cam la 10.000 si dupaia se inprospateaza cu un strat subtire de ulei
