Anyone used K & N or DNA filters that can be cleaned and therefore recycled?
What do you think of them?

The filters I used were a direct swap for the original paper elements. One donkey's years ago on a Kawasaki Z400 and more recently on a diesel car (diesels can be very smokey with dirty air filters). The K&Ns deffo saved money. As long as properly oiled K&N are fine and actually filter better the dirtier they get. But obviously they get clogged and have to be cleaned and re-oiled.

Since I plan to keep the bike some time  and the OEM filter is £25 seems economic to by K & N at £47 from my local bike shop. Who changes filter after the recommended mileage and who does it after the recommended time as shown in Haynes?  |

If my filters (bike and car) dont look too bad then I just take an airline to them and blow through them from tha back. clears out a lot of the crap and makes it good for a few more miles.  Hope this helps Andy |

Like A-R-D, I try to keep mine clean with an airline. When I've bought replacements they have been pattern ones from www.wemoto.com£15 each. |

Any time I've looked, my air filter has looked clean, I'm beginning to wonder if the air is going through it |
