I was looking into getting the std replacement K&N filter for my Predator, and had heard that they leak around the seal. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Any of ya'll have this problem, and how did you resolve it? Thanks in advance.

 

Buy a tube of the K& N Grease and run a bead around the filter- problem solved.

 

Thanks Graffer. I had figured I'd probably go that route also. When I had my dirtbikes with the foam filters I always just put a swipe of grease around the sealing lip.

Anyone else have any ideas/tips?

 

Have you noticed any breaks in the airbox. My nephew has cracked his. Landed hard, split around the lid about 1 inch below top. Did an emergency fix with duct tape.

 

the pred airbox is horrible.. bottom line...
mine leaked all over the place.. i always had some dirt in it.. then it ripped up near the carb... got myself a clamp on.. and will never go back.. it stop ALL dirt going in and gets rid of that ugly airbox.. i suggest just gettin the clamp on.. its the same as the drop in and includes a outwear that stops most dirt

 

Hozed, what type of clamp on did you get?

 

k&n... i almost wanna say the part nubmer was RU - 1770

 

That's the right number. The drop in K&N works fine, you just have to take your time installing it, and make sure to seat it properly. Pay attention to the details and they work fine.

 

i had alot of dirt buld up in my air tube that went to the carb.

 

Thanks Hozed, when we finally get around to pricing a new air box, I'm sure he'll go to the clamp on.
