Air filter for cb400 f

(1/2) > >>

Ken4004:
HI everyone

Just thinking about the future as I have fitted a new standard air filter on my cb400 F , has anyone fitted a K and N reusable filter to their bike and if so have there been any issues ?

I used one on my 1977 Z1000 and it seemed OK just wondered what people views were !

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've used K&N air filters previously on several cars, they claimed better performance.

Not sure if the K&N filter on a bike would affect the fuel  mixture adversly, especially on a smaller engine.

Bryanj:
There have been several adverse reports on the US forum

Ken4004:
Hi Bryan

Yes I did see those , showing dirt getting past the filter and on some cases even evidence of the pistons and bore of some bikes getting scored so probably worth avoiding and stick to what you know !

Laverda Dave:
I assume the installer of the K&N filters used the filter oil and didn't install them dry?
