New Air Filter - Darpo_imp - 11-16-2013
Hey Gang-
Picked up the K&N air filter and it's breathing nice. Wasn't sure what to expect but, the throttle response feels very precise w/ a little extra zip. I'm also going with the Amsoil 30 full synthetic and am enjoying that too. Been averaging low 42-45 per gallon twistn that throttle. Nothing crazy, but thought I'd share my experience. I have close to 5000 miles so tires are eventually next. Any reco's? Stay hyper alert out there.

Hey, next time one of you guys change out an air filter, how about doing a photo tute on it for the how to section.
This goes for anything: removing tank, pulling wheels, replacing spark plugs
Lets build up a good library for all members

I'm at almost 13,000 miles so I think I'm about due for an air filter. A K&N is in my future (as soon as I get off my lazy butt and order it...HA!).
I'll get some install pics when I tear into it for ya Ferret.

Ok Darpo, you just cost me $50 for a filter from Amazon.
Actually, it should add a very nice bump combined with my ho-flow exhaust.

Awesome Randy, thanks on behalf of everybody on the forum. Some guys are afraid to try even the easy stuff until they see a tute with pictures showing the steps involved.

I agree some pics are always helpful. Will keep that in mind as everyone is at different comfort levels when playing. I will say it was very easy. Take off the right side panel and unscrew the 3 screws to remove the air cleaner housing cover. On page 64 in the manual it has the details too. Heres a pic of the stock filter along with the box HA-1301 K&N. Any recommendation on tires for our gem?

What does stock filter look like? I know someone was commenting on how restrictive stock set up was.
Tires? Only 2 choices, both oem, Bridgestones or Dunls. Not many options at this point.
I think GCarper put some non radials on his.

... and Pirelli Sport Demon (if available in the U.S.)

The pic I attached is the stock paper filter. The K&N is already installed. The K&N is obviously the same size in a tubular shape. It has the same type of red filtration pattern as any other K&N if you can imagine that. Would love to hear from anyone that gets this as I have been really noticing better breathability and all that comes w/ that, especially in the 5,500-7000 range. Zing and a big smile.
RE: New Air Filter - ingobohn_imp - 11-17-2013
Does the stock filter look more restrictive compared to K&N, e.g. thicker filter material, more filter "rips", etc.?
