    Airfilters

    I am running a K&N airfilter with 2 Outerwears, checked out my intake tube the other day and it had dust in there real fine like flour . I've read lately where they let in alot of dirt in your motor in independent test. What do you think?

    i also prefer uni filters. my friend runs a K&N and doesn't seem to have any problems though. however, he oils it pretty good. by the way, i think you are only suppose to clean those K&N's 20 or 25 times before they are supposed to be replaced.

    I had very fine dust in my airboot also with the K&N. I really don't think it will cause any major problems unless you ride in real dusty conditions on a regular basis. But I do have a UNI sitting here for those conditions
