[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 742787, member: 1875"] I had the same reservations and concerns. My arrogance having spent so many years with dirt bike filters, had me convinced that I knew exactly how to handle the K&N on the FJR. I changed that damn air filter every 4,000 or 8,000 miles, depending on how dirty the ride conditions had been. Rarely did the filter washing ever produce more than a mild showing of dirt, after all, it was getting cleaned/switched roughly every month! Yet, there was an appreciable deposit of dirt and filter oil all along the air chamber intake tubes. Not good! Good that I had applied enough excess oil to catch the dirt, Not Good that it eventually produced enough downstream buildup to screw my throttle response. [/QUOTE]
