Title: Opinions on the K&N Filter for the GS500?
Post by: Toad Rider on April 16, 2007, 02:40:08 PM
Any noticeable increase in power?  Is it worth the money?

Which K&N  with the drop-in/restrictor and no re-jet.  No real difference.  But with a rejet you should feel something.  I'll sell ya my almost new drop in whenever my new jets get here to put my lunchbox on or ya could rejet and get a lunchbox.  I've heard that a rejet/lunchbox does pretty nice even without  a new pipe :thumb:

Makes sense.  More air with the same amount of gas = little increase in power.  Thanks.

But since the K & N is permanent, I do find it "worth the money" as compared to the stock disposable filter.

It may not add power, but it could be economical in the long run.

Yeah they do have the longevity thing going.    Without a rejet you have to put in a restrictor for the bike to run properly ( comes with the drop in version)  so you don't really increase the air flow :icon_confused: Lemme know if you want it  $15 + shipping  :dunno_white: it'll probably be the end of the week before I can ship :thumb:
