Joopster55 Posted March 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2009 Had the first ride of the year yesterday with the new K&N air filters. Made a big difference in performance. Instant reaction from the motor as soon as you turn the throttle. Went for a ride around the block, turned out to be a 4 hour ride, 200 kms. later. The reaction from the bike was soooo sweet, I left quite a few HD's behind me. When I got home, my wife could not slap the smile off my face. Had no problems with the new high output stater as well. I think it will be a trouble free riding season. Will be picking up my new trailer May 1. It's going to be a nice week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterbug Posted March 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 18, 2009 does it still have the stock pipes? I have been thinking about getting K&N for mine and pipes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I still have stock pipes on. I've been thinking of replacing them with BUB slip ons, wife dosen't want anything that's too loud. But that will be next year, or if I come acroos a good deal that I can't refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMIKE Posted March 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2009 OK Let the cat out of the bag...what else did you do? I to have recently installed K&N air filters along with the chrome filter covers. I did not really notice any great performance gains worth writing home about. Not like I did when I installed a K&N cold air on my 4x4 pickup. I also have stock mufflers but did the drill modification for a little more sound out of them. What gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is, I kept the bike inside my heated garage all winter, and I added some gas stabilizer and engine tune up additive. That's it, nothing else.

A few blind tests would reveal that your results are a little more accurate. If the K&Ns were really letting in any more air and doing anything for performance, the carbs would require rejetting to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
