Default k&n air filter...

Anyone used them, do they make any difference to the ride?

Are they worth it and how much did you pay for it?

Set up properly with the right exhaust, you should get an extra bit of HP. I also seem to recall that pipercross(sp?) ones might be better.

But of course you're on a restricted license, so its all academic.

I've got one, bought second hand. For me it is not an issue of improved performance but of reduced maintenance costs. the K&N can be cleaned and reused, the OE one can not.

Personally I doubt you'd feel any performance increase, I didn't.

A fair number of the lads racing over here have said that they put the stock back
on, that the K & N was hurting them.

I dunno.
Have you got tank raisers? You get some almost free power from just them.
