K&N Filters?

[Ileumi]

Hello.
I try use sarch but not find about K&N airfilters. Have anyone experiences about those filters?
My bike is paralever R80GS with 1000CC siebenrock kit, standard 32mm carburators.

k and n filter

hi i have had a K+N on my 1991 r100gs for 15k no problems the bike runs better, pick up is smoother, and the iduction noise is nicer.

Yup...got one on my R100g/spd..all seems OK

Yes, maybe I buy that K&N. Is in UK any other shop who sells filter out? www.motorcycle-filter.co.uk sells cheap filters but shipping costs to Finland is quite a lot, 35 pounds.

Huge debates about K&N filters in the US. The general consensusis that they flow more air by filtering it less... if you ride in dusty conditions they should be avoided.

Great for street, questionable for dirt use.

Personally when I ran one, I did typically have accumulations of fine grit under the filter after riding in dusty conditions and quickly binned it and went back to stock paper filters

I have one of each in both of my g/s's and IMHO the stock item is well up to the job
