K & N Panel filter - SV650.org

25-04-09, 07:16 PM

Ive just fitted a K & N panel filter and wondered if anybody else who has fitted one noticed a difference when fitted.
My bike has a Scorpion pipe and now fitted I think the K & N make a massive difference, the bike seems to rev a bit quicker and pull a bit harder !

whats the general opinion, big difference or is it my big imagination ?!

Negligible difference in performance, but massive difference in cost - it'll outlast your bike!

was going to clean my K&N filter yesterday... then noticied the sticker with said service at 50,000 miles... so I've got another 30,000 to go.
I took it out and its still very clean and airbox insides was completely clean...

just out off interest are you or have you removed the air snorkel...?
