Title: quick question - air filter part number asap :)
Post by: vegbiker on March 07, 2004, 01:05:29 PM
Hello...I'm not at home and my manual is! Does anyone know the part number for the 2000 model air filter?

I've neglected my bike and it's running horribly! I friend of mine is doing a quick fix until we can get the bike home for a tune-up. Spark plugs and an air filter are on the list...when I get home, we'll do a valve adjustment and carb sync.

I'm a bad GS owner :(

I bought the K&N drop in for $46.95 + tax, but unfortunately I can't recall the site I bought it from.

Sorry I can't help with that.

ASLAM.

OK, I did some searching here and elsewhere.  Many people prefer RU-0800 pod filters, or RU-2970 Unipod which can be found for $35.  I'm keeping my bike pretty stock, so  want the SU5589 drop-ins.  Some prices (ignore the notes about springs, I'm shopping for both):

BikeBandit: K&N SU5589 $53, progressive springs: $68.72
onlineparts.com: K&N SU5589 $56
hipersports.com/kandn (MAW): K&N $47.95, Progressive $58
Chaparral:  K&N SU5589 p/n 340-0226 $44.99,  Progressive $46.99 p/n 377-1128
RonAyers: K&N SU5589 p/n400226 $44.58
prostockonline.com: K&N RU5589 $45

Looks like lots of places will sell RU5589s for about $45.  But with their deal on the Progressive springs, Chaparral let me get both, for under $100, counting shipping (hopefully "under the radar" on the family credit-card bill ;) ), so I ordered from them.

Thanks you...thank you! My friend picked up the filter and the bike is much happier. I've neglected the valve adjustment, so that's next on the list. My bike will be happy again soon :)
