Air filter

Just came across this test of various air filters. Surprised at how poorly the K&N did.

Some of the people on this thread apparently don't know the difference between Capital letters....lower case letters....and the fact that the size of the print doesn't change either of them.....they also aren't able to count very well......With even more affection.....Mike.....:dontknow: and I'm done with this HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY ALL

K&N filters are better than and meet the warranty specs. for air filters for the Can-ams RS & RT and they last for a long time. You can get them at Amazon.com for about $32.00. BLUENIGHT911 is correct again! :firstplace:

I stand corrected. Should have gotten my facts together more. Its good Y'all are keeping me honest.

Found an article that might help explain why a lean fuel/ air ratio isn't good for an engine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air–fuel_ratio_meter

Lean mixtures improve the fuel economy but also cause sharp rises in the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOX). If the mixture becomes too lean, the engine may fail to ignite, causing misfire and a large increase in unburned hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. Lean mixtures burn hotter and may cause rough idle, hard starting and stalling, and can even damage the catalytic converter, or burn valves in the engine. The risk of spark knock/engine knocking (detonation) is also increased when the engine is under load.

Google is my friend...

Good article. Thanks for the link.
