Default h1 and k&n

Hey whats up people? I have 1 quick question. I was told that if I put a K&N air filter on my 05 H1 I will have to rejet it to allow for more air, is that true or is the guy stringing me along?

No, it is my understanding that you shouldn't have to.

You will not have to rejet for a K&N filter. I do however reccomend bringing your stock filter with you incase it gets dusty. The K&N is a good filter for a small power increase, but if it gets dusty, it will let alot of that into your motor as well[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

imstuck.........you said it.
There is a lot of "misunderstanding" in regard to the K & N.........mostly from folks that don't have one.

Do you guys have some research on this? I am interested in one but am concerned about the dust comments. v2 has a K&N and he says it lets more dust in. Just wondering, thanks so much.

My proof comes from when i had my stock filter in, i rode gravels, and other dusty rides, and when i took my filter out to clean it, it was clean in the airbox. I recently put a K&N filter in, and after our Spider Lake ride, which ended up dusty at the end of the day, i took out the K&N to check the filter, and ended up cleaning dust out of the airbox. I like the K&N small power increse, and would reccomend catterman to buy one, but i also am telling you, from my own experience, carry your stock filter with you, because the K&N WILL let dust in. I will continue to use the K&N because it helps the machine breathe, and even though small, it is noticable. So yes Catterman, i would get one if i were you. It doesnt hurt to change it when it gets dusty on the ride, especially the dust from being behind me all the time [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
