usually when i first buy the Knn air fliter.. i dont wash till maybe 1 to 3 yrs.

If u ask those lao Jiao. If Knn is too clean.. its not the peak performance that the bike can use it.

 

Y i say so. when it comes factory fitted with the oil . thts the best. after u wash it.N diy yurself... the amount of oil put is different from the fatory. thus its different already.

 

Secondly i let mah motor wash n blow dry for me... easy n convinent... wher as they haf the experiance to handle rather than DIY.u save a few dollars only but tink in the long run.....

 

:goodluck: :goodluck:

Blow ur filter? And blow the dirt into the form and stuck there?

In the manual they stated nv blow it with air gun cos it let dirt stuck deep into the filter and may add some air restrictions.

As shop need to earn money they do it in a fast way. By DIY we can slowly let the filter self dry and oil ourselves.

 

DIY in the long run I feel that ur filter would be better condition than those blow their filter dry. And why let people do it where a simple job can be done by u.

well for shops. yes they want to earn money but tht depends how well u knw the shop...if u knw them well. when they do.. u stand there n see n make sure they do a good job..

 

experiance.. counts.. diy can be done provided u got the experiance.

 

what ever the case its. once u wash yur KNN filter., u cant get the peak perforamance as when u use it fresh from the box....

[hachi]

I dont think u need experience to wash a k&n filter. I mean if u can ride a bike then u should have the ability to wash a filter.

Is not very hard to wash a filter provided u have the kits and cost only $18.

I agree with u that new k&n do perform better, and new k&n doesnt really better than a stock filter just that it perform better than a syock filter when it is dirty and it is washable too.

Is the KNN Air filter for Spec II same as the one for Spec III??

[PaLmEr]

answer: yes. using one myself

[daryl_siah]

juz 1 2 ask u guys KNN filter for Ver S $70 is it expensive??where can get a cheaper 1?

[s0u1]

as above..

wat the difference bwt it n K&N one?...

coz K&N one recycleable huh?...

 

how much the cost diff?..

if ride WITHOUT air filter...carbs got dirty easily ??

must we tune after we change air filter???.

pls advise...

[Guest engsoon8]

k & n is a better can recycle. around $60-$75

no.

[Ris]

Go buy from LAB, very cheap.

 

as for bike w/o the fliter, u decide.

 

Personnally: got better pickup but wori about micro dirt,

tat enter the engine freely (w/o filtering), might reduce the

engine life span.

[MiCmAsTa]

K&N is better... Forget about the Original ones... K&N can be wash when its dirty. Got mine at $65 + Installation. Riding without a Filter is a NO GO for me...

[Guest enHANZed]

where u get $65+ install ? i got my original changed @ combine for $20 ...cause they quoted me $80 for knn

X ring lasted longer when taken care of properly.

Improper maintainence will kill all types of chain quickly.

 

Carb washing ands tuning for Super 4 costs cheapest from $60 to an average of $80.

Never heard of anyone charging higher than $80 so far.

But i guess Boon Siew will charge more than $80....

 

Where ?

Well lots of places are recommended here.

Do a search and pick a place u like.
