Default K&N and jetting

I grabbed a K & N off ebay @ Roadrunner- Performance : PL-1003 for SP800 (Check on this, but I believe this will fit yours too)

$29.99 + $7 shipping

As far as jetting goes, every machine is different, as are different combos: K & N only, K & N with slip on or full system etc. Some will need to be richened up, some won't.

For example, I had a 1994 CBR600F2 that I bought brand new (ahh, my first new vehicle ever!!). I bought a K & N filter and a Yoshimura Race-Only slip-on for it soon after I broke it in. I never touched the jets because it ran strong and felt great (and, at the time I had no concept of carburetors). One day at a dyno shootout, this was confirmed. The tech asked me several times, "are your SURE this doesn't have a jet kit?" He was looking at the EGA machine and it was right at 5.5% CO, and was putting out 86 H.P. @ the rear wheel. The other F2's there with full pipe systems & jet kits were putting out 82-85 HP!

So I'd throw it on, then see how she performs and go from there.

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

The price Smitty4 gave is good on the K&N.But sometimes you can find them cheap on EBay.AS for jetting you wont need to rejet with a filter change.Polaris come rich from the factory.
