You can service a K&N filter. Go to your local auto oarts store and buy the service kit. Its around 10 dollars if memory serves me rights. It will service the filter many times.

I service mine after every ride. I ride a sport quad. It has the airbox and lid but I like to keep it clean!

yeah..most kn's just need cleaning....you can do this to them over an over..thats to say if you use thier cleaning kit..auto zone carries them. as for your sig in your profile..reminded me of when i visited rhode island..left arkansas in dec..go to rhode island..got picked up at the air port in a 4-wheel drive ..i seen they didn't have it in 4-drive..she's like '' what for '' ?.needless to say..that was my first time using my seat belt !!!!!..lmfao..i told her..hey..you try this down in arkansas..and see how far you get with ice on the road !!..lmfao.

What are the advantages of having a K&N? It's time for a new AF and im debating whether to spend money on a K&N or just regular (inexpensive) one. Not trying to thread-jack rancher11 but i figured this was an appropriate thread to ask a question. lol

Most air filters are cleanable. THe K&N lets more air in.
I like it because it is rather easy to clean and you can purchase the proper cleaners at any auto parts shop. I hate the sticky foam filters. Messy. I do know they are great filters aswell. Buy a good filter either way.

 

[Mudmannolan]

Are there any noticeable changes in performance with a K&N?

 

[tomgodd]

Cleaning is easier.
I am not sure about change with just filter. With a filter, exhaust, and proper jetting I know it is. I did al mine at the same time. Sorry I could not be of better help.
