I have ruined 2 stock air filters during cleaning. The material at the base of the filter cracks through. I have owned MANY bikes, and have never ruined a filter during service. I am going to buy a twin air, or uni, if they are available.
Is anyone else having trouble with the stock filter?

Mine did the same thing though not beyond use. I did however get some UNI's!

Mine has no issues at all, because its sitting on a shelf in my garage. Scrap the foamy and get the Trinity Proflo with the K&N, totally worth it.

Im not a supporter of K&N. I am happy with Foam.

K&N doesn't filter the small particles like others, mount a uni as soon as possible.

same problem here, maybe twin air or UNI will resist more!i will definatly buy 2 UNI

Mine did the same thing but I just fixed it with silicone, I ordered the kit from Trinity two weeks ago but they are saying they still have not got them in yet, I hope they get them in soon I dont know if this thing will take another cleaning.

My filter did the same thing, it has a tear by the end of it, i know it wasn't from mishandling it cause i've had several bikesand had never torn a filter.

There's a reason the K&N's make a bit more power...and it's because they let EVERYTHING through :wink:

Ok I can't say everything, but we ran some controlled experiments...they do let alot of smaller dust through.

i agree ive always been told to stay foam find a good uni or twin air because k&n was designed for street cars when it isnt so dusty

I'm running the Pro-Flow from Trinity. If any of you are waiting? They are in. The kit does come with a "outerwears" over the K&N. I hope this knocks down some of the fine stuff. I never had any problems with K&N on any of my 1/4 cars BUT...I have heard that rumor before...and more than once.
I'm not really worried because I bought a white LTR...I heard they are tougher than the yellow ones... :arrow:

That outerwear is robbing the benefits from the KN, but Ill be danged if I ran a KN without one. Just save money and get the foam!

Have you ever felt a outwerwear? Its doesnt restrict any airflow at all.

lets more particles in- k&N or torn foam filter? I never torn a k&n while cleaning it or ever had to replace one. Seems like it saves you money in the long run. I'm just not into cleaning the foam filter that often it's too sticky, and it's so easy to maintain a k&n.
