Title: New Airfilter w/o rejetting?
Post by: atek3 on May 30, 2005, 06:00:12 PM
I have a stock '89 gs, the air filter is really dirty.  I'm going to replace it with a new one, but I don't want to rejet, should I go with OEM or the K&N with restricter installed.

thanks,

That depends on 2 things:another 16 years ( ;) ) then an OEM filter may fit the bill.

Even with the restrictor, the K&N runs a tad leaner than the OEM filter (I think).  But up at 4,800 feet that has been a plus for me, and on my long trips through all elevation levels (CA coast to 12,095 feet) I haven't had any complaints.

Thanks for reminding me; it's probably about time to clean and re-oil my K&N.  :thumb:

So did you....  :lol:

Besides, I'm surprised it doesn't happen MORE often with my wireless connection from richard:

(And this is a GOOD day!)  Then again, I'm not paying much for it, so I can't complain TOO much.
