Just took delivery of my 09 KQ750 today. Put on a quick 10 miles before work. I LOVE the power steering. I didnt think it would be all that much of a difference, but it did and it was awesome.

I have read alot about how crappy the stock air filter is on some of the KQs. I was wondering if it has been corrected by the 2009 model or should i replace it with an aftermarket filter?

 

The newer air filters are better because they are foam over paper instead of just plain paper as they were in the previous years. I would still run an aftermarket filter for even better filtration! Just my opinion, but I have always run aftermarket filters on my machines
