KN Air Filter

Hi All,
Looked on the search but had no luck.Just wondered what you all thought of them.Managed to get one cheap fitted it this morning went for a ride round and was surprised how good throttle response was after initial warm up.With the stock filter after a while used to get occasionally stumble when pulling away now no problem even at low revs in any gear pulls away real smooth.Does this sound to good?Your thoughts always appreciated.
Cheers
Bitsa

Hi Bitsa I have one on the shelf waiting to go in my bike , biggest advantage is you can clean them and reuse them  ;) cheers Mick.

Don't have any experience personally Bitsa but it sounds about right. The K&Ns are less restrictive so when the vacuum in the inlet throat calls for more air it gets it more easily. With standard filter / inlet there is bound to be a bit of a lag while the air finds its way through the air box and filter. Would expect slightly more power too.

Only thing to check is the mixture. If more air gets in you may need more fuel to go with it. You could run lean. Am sure others can advise on that.

Like I said throttle response low to mid revs is mutch improved.I went for a good scream around Sunday and will look at the plugs tonight.
Cheers

Waggles:
Hold on. Think I am thinking of something else. I was thinking of the individual K&N filters ( one per carb ) but I notice you are speaking in the singular! Is this a straight replacement for the standard filter then? If so can you point me at it as it sounds rather spiffing 'specially if you can wash it ( tight wad Waggles  ;) )

My comments still hold though so will be interested to hear what yer plugs look like Bitsa
