4U2NV Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 I read somewhere in an earlier post that the XX actually loses horsepower with a K & N filter ...what is the general consensus? Quote
Obby Posted June 12, 2003 Posted June 12, 2003 Not my '97. With the dual Micron CF's, K&N, and Dyno'd.... I got a total of 150 horses. Quote

4U2NV Posted June 13, 2003 Author Posted June 13, 2003 hey where is D: hookers. can't have a pole with out D: hookers. I vote to remove this pole until it is properly done...... THE OFFICIAL POLL: What provides more HP to the XX? A) K & N Air Filter Stock Air Filter C) Other Air Filter D) Hookers (riding the Bird and breathing hard) There.... Happy now?! :roll: Quote
scubajohn Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 I just switched to the K&N and I did not feel a loss or a gain but I did not dyno it so itcant be much. Now on some vehicles it makes a BIG differance. The only good thing about the k&N is its the last filter you will have to buy for the bird. I think D> will make the most differance hehehe Quote
Involute Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 I've had nothing but good luck with them up until "The Bird". Quote
Warchild Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Got over 40,000 miles on Night Train since the K&N filter was installed.... It doesn't appear to be slowing me down much.... :twisted: :twisted: Quote
Involute Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 I've tried, but I can't think of anything that would slow you down. :fingers: Quote
Involute Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 He has a switch on the bike to disable them in order to avoid unwarranted body motion and electrical power draw when the lights come on. :wink: Quote
MaXX Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 You are not going to get much HP in a change from the stock air filter. What you get is a less maintenance intensive air filter. With changing the plugs every 8-10k miles, you need to be under the tank anyway, but if you buy the iridiums and a K&N, you can leave both in there a lot longer. I went with the K&N for maintenance and time/cost effectiveness. MaXX Quote
cbr99xx Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 Dunno... I have a K&N on my '99 but have never had it dynoed. I did believe that I could feel a slight drop in power but nothing that overly concerned me. Quote
spEEdfrEEk Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 The K&N is a wasted purchase unless you have an aftermarket exhaust and can run the bigger 140 main jets on a carbed bike. It was hurting my performance pretty badly until after I threw on some Jardines slipons. After that, MUCH better ;-) It does flow alot better than the stocker in the midrange, but that's the only place it does. :cool: TJ :cool: Quote
4U2NV Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 Excellent input! Thanks guys! I think that I will keep my stock air filter for now :wink: Quote
