Does Fram make an air filter for the GS500? Or anyone cheaper than OEM. That one's kind of pricey. The one for my car is two dollars at Walmart.
I need to replace it, I thought they replaced it with some of my services, because the matainence schedule said they were supposed to, but apparently they're dumbasses because I have too many problems with them.
So my bike is at 8,000 miles and it hasn't had the air filter changed yet. It's not running real hot now, especially when it rains, so I need a new one.
dont skimp out. get the real deal. in fact, if u have the money and time, take it a step further and upgrade to a K&N drop in or even a Lunchbox. you will need to rejet but u will not be disappointed.
you CHEAP f*@k!!! :nana:
That is your bike and you're complaining about something that will help the performance greatly by spending about 45 dollars or so on it.
Let it go to waste, go ahead, by a 2 dollar one. Better yet, put that money to good use and get a 2 dollar ho. :cheers:

You can clean and re-use the stock filter several times - try that first

no need to be a duck. seriously. do you know his situation? if its a financial issue im sure 90% of us can relate. if u cant afford a new filter then do what u have to do to use ur old one or even buy a cheap one. BUT if u can afford a higher end one dont hesitate. basically its worth the money
Yeah, I'm sorry, there was no need for that. Was thinking that he wanted to use only a couple of bucks on an air filter when his bike was running badly and surely a k&n one would help. It was uncalled for, but hey, definitely do go with the k&n one if you can afford 40 bucks more which it seems to be very worth it.
You can get a K&N In-Airbox Replacement Filter (http://www.bbburma.net/K&N_AirFilter.htm) for $45.95 at MAW (http://www.mawonline.com/kandn.htm#Air%20filters). It comes pre-oiled and is washable/reusable for (supposedly) 500,000 miles.
Here's the line you're looking for on that MAW page:

i paid a lil over 40 for my lunchbox and it has a million mile warrenty
The stock paper filter can be washed in gas, dried out and re used ... 2-3 times at the very least. It will clean better and clog faster though ... so you'd have to clean it more often ... say every 3-4K instead of 5-6K.
Cool.

I always read about the lunchbox filters and I have no idea what they are. Anyone have a picture or a link showing clearly what these are?
Thanks amigos,
Dave :cheers:
it replaces the airbox/filter. its just like those cone filters u see in cars except its not a cone shape. it bolts directly to the carbs. no airbox
