I would get some technical specifications on this green filter before you just jump into getting one.
I am sure most of you would like more performance. I would too.
The problem is, well with K&N Filters anyway.
The tech spec for K&N reads something like this, this product for racing engines, K&N filters provide 85% - 91% filtration.
Remember racing engines are rebuilt often and dont usually have a lot of hours of use on them between tear downs.
Huh!!! 85% filtration??? you know what that means, your new engine just became a expensive vacuum cleaner.
With your engine doing double duty vacuum cleaner of your city streets & engine for your spyder, it may not last as long as it could if you had 100% filtration.
A lot of dirt entering the top end of your engine is not healthy for rings, pistons, valves.
The bottom end of your engine will remain clean for awhile until it is worn out.
I am not saying these filters are like the K&N filters, I dont know anything about them.
I am just trying bring to light what I know about the K&N filters.
I would rather use the stock filter, rather than use a partial filter. I am not riding a hoover. All though my streets could be a little cleaner.
Since we are unaware of the Green Filter, Get a spec sheet, with filtration performance, how well this filter actually removes particulate, not how little it filters.
Lets make sure. We have spent too much $$$ on these lets keep um running.
