besides it can be washed and reusable for a very long long time, the filter has better air flow than the restrictive stock.

some claimed better throttle response and power but i didn't a feel a thing. neeeds a bit of re tuning of carbs when the stock has been replaced coz the air fuel mixture has been altered.

there are also websites that claimed that using such air filters doesn't really benefit your bike at all and in fact failed to perform. (with dyno results.)

Try replacing stock filter n ride & after which try knn filter n return home...

 

Like not much diff in power but a slight increase in fuel for knn filter... i ride constantly at 90km/hr PIE.

 

Any expert can explains does Knn really improves power n torque???

I install K&N filter on my ver R, no difference felt, but then its more economical as it can be resue by cleaning and oiling.
