Air Filter

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

I have an oem filter on my 03 636. I pulled it last night and it was completely filthy. I was assuming I could pick one up for $10-$15...boy was I wrong. I called Performance, Sun Honda, and TFOG, all could get me OEM, BMC or K&N. As stated earlier, i didn't really want to spend in upward of $40 for an air filter.

I've heard that filters can be washed and re-used. So i'm all for doing that, but i have no clue as to how to do it w/o destroying my filter. Any help would be appreciated. I know BMC & K&N are 1 time buys, but i've also heard that sticking w/ OEM is best.

Since your a Kawi rider Travis I'll give you $40 to buy a new filter :)

Save the "wash and re-use" for the Suzuki riders.

Dave,

It always works for Ken. Crash and then wash and then reuse.

I'd be surprised if Ken even has an air filter in that Zuk :lol:

Travis, the stock might be a paper-type filter, your better off replacing it with a BMC or K&N. People will tell you that you'll lose a little HP (only 1-2HP at the most) but at least you have a filter that will last the entire life of the bike. Remind me never to use your maintenace program though :)

Yeah, you're probably right. UnSuk thinks that it fell off somewhere because Ken didn't have enough zip-ties.

I gotz no luv for a Yamaha rider

Don't be mad at the Yamis because we are the real riders. But then again I am only the rider I am because I followed your line on the 4th.

I say show up at 2PM and get DK to make good on his offer!

[~Barn~]

With as much money as DK as stewing in, I'd have him Fed-Ex it to you. Overnight is always best.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

2 o'clock it is!

do you really want a filter that "last forever"

the dust that kills engines you can't see until it's attached to your crank that fell out because of sludge


wash those filters if ya want I think I had rather just replace a good old paper filter and keep my ponies and all my engine parts:)

I know the feeling...yesterday was my 'check sarcasm light' day

The K&N/BMC filters work good with oil. Every filter works well when dirty...

The stainless steel filters have been known to hurt turbos in cars.
