Anyone using a K&N filter

Subject: Anyone using a K&N filter November 17th 2009, 11:11 pm

Anyone using this filter, if you are, do you have a pre-filter on it? Is this a good filter for the dusty WV conditions?

Subject: Re: Anyone using a K&N filter November 17th 2009, 11:17 pm

i hear they suck. i got that info from the rzr forum, not from first hand experience.

I had a polaris mechanic tell me to use the polaris paper filter, not foam or k&n. Anyone using a K&N filter 643556

I have never liked K&N's after all I have read and heard about them letting dust by, even with the prefilter. Not first hand knowledge, just from research.

I use to use them on my Racing fourwhellers and they let alot of dust thru...

Used them on both of my King Quads. I will never use them on an off-road machine again. From now on it is UNI or Twin Air. On the RZR I am using the stock paper filter with the Outerwears.

Fine for gas road vehicles but in dusty environments we ride our quads and SxS's in I'm skeered of them. They are also not appropriate for diesels as I understand they pull too much particulate matter driven by high boost turbos.

I also run them in my vehicles but not my toys .

I use the K&N w/ outer wear, no snorkle, stock can, light grease and clamp to snug up the intake fit. Check and clean the can after every ride and nothing in the intake yet.

hey everyone, your trouble is in the intake boot, (going from the filter to the EFI) next time you check your filter check the tube going to the EFI.

K&N good for street I use them on gas & diesel vehicles no problem, used them on 06 polaris atv no problem, used on 09 polaris rzr at 109 hours needs topend ( I clean & reoil filter, check intake & hoses evey 50 hours) From now on stock polaris filters only! Ride Safe BIG HOSS

bubba, the 08s had a smaller filter that came with a prefilter. the 09s have an updated filter but they never changed the info in the owners manual.

polaris dealer can get them i used my prefilter from my K&N. i have the updated filter box and filter which is in the 09's no clamps on them.

Thanks All,
I'm gonna get order a couple. It's gotta help.
I'm running a K&N w/prefilter on my 06 Rubicon. It helps there to a
point but if I ride Ocala when it try and usually it is , I still get a
lot of small took in my air box when riding with a group. So I change my oil more frequently.
