Post by 220rider »

modified the air box lid today to breath better while still having some extra dust protection.

Great idea. I might have to do that to mine. What application was that precharger for?

K&N Precharger? That's an oxymoron! :mrgreen:

K&N Filters aren't worth what they are made of in the dirt....

I just put a Scotch Brite green pad on my lid.

What's the verdict on K&N?

Meant to say they AREN'T worth what they are made off.

K&N knows street filters but they have allot to learn about all the micro dirt particles that dirt bike are constantly subjected too....

its not a filter its a dust cover for a k&n filter. still running the regular air filter so anything to aid it is better than nothing

Been using K&N on my Strom for over +70,000 miles, and I bet money on it, my Strom see's more dirt MILES than most dirtbikes on this forum :wink:


Also ran one on my DR, never once had to clean it or reoil it in 10,000 miles

I service the one on the Strom every 12 months

Why do you say that? K&N doesn't belong in the dirt IMO.... you may have a different view and that's fine too.

I'm gonna go with Inda on this one. K&N is fine for the asphalt, give me an oiled foam filter for the dirt any day. I do like the pre-screen mod you have there though. Can't hurt, and should help.

Just rattling your chain. I have no opinion either way regarding K&N. I have never used them. I stick with UNI or No-toil. Although I do like the idea of a cover to keep the larger chunks out of the airbox. I used Mr Wibbens mod for mine.

Agreed with Inda, still fing twin air or Uni the best air filter around over the fancy K&N.
A true KDX customizer!!
