i dont know what they are talking about i have never herd that in my life about a k&n was bad for your quad you ask me they are lieing i have been running with my k&n sence 2001 when i got it i have took to to a lot of shops to get stuff done on it and not one guy has told me that it is bad so it is up to you if you take it off or not

 

thats what you have to do

Most people dont realize that they need constant maintenance

If you go K&N, get two,,,,so you always have a clean, oiled, dry filter waiting to go.

The recharger kit is easy to use.

 

K&N filters offer the most flow,,,,and the least amount of protection.

With an outerwear and proper maintenance they are fine filters.

 

i know that it is the most flow but least amount of protection ya right thats not true i have had my k&n for a long time and never had problems with sand getting in there

 

Sand is fairly large in size,,,,its the fine dust that can get thru.

Hate to burst your bubble, but if K&N offered the most protection,,,it wouldnt offer the best flow. You cant have both.

 

i know that it isnt the best protection but it is not as bad as you say it is and i dont ride in the dust to much but i have never had probs with the raptor when we take that out to the desert and that has a k&n

 

Like I said,,,a properly maintained K&N is a fine filter.

They tend to clog up a bit sooner than a foam filter,,,,so they tend to need cleaning sooner in order to maintain the high flow.
