Dit filter dient ter vervanging van het originele filter. Het grote voordeel is dat het K&N-filter tijdens onderhoud niet vervangen hoeft te worden door een nieuw examplaar. In plaats daarvan kunt u het filter wassen en opnieuw in-oli��n.
The filter element is a cotton cloth soaked with a special oil. The cotton fibers absorb the oil and thus the dirt literally sticks to it. As a result, more dirt is retained, which is better for preserving the engine. In addition, due to its construction, the filter allows more air to pass through, which in turn benefits power. Especially when the K&N filter gets dirty and thus clogs up, K&N still lets a lot of air through where other filters no longer do.
It does not make a substantial difference for air fuel when a stock exhaust is installed, but in combination with other modifications it is definitely recommended to have your motorcycle finetuned. If the predecessor is a low quality filter, then obviously it does make a difference to the tuning.
Sets with K&N cleaning kits and filter oil are also available at Tovami
