K&N YA-2088 Filter

[JohnSwitch]

I would just like some info on the stock K&N filter. Does it work better then a standard foam filler? Has anyone used it and seen an improvement, does it have better flow? I am thinking of getting one for my blaster but I would like to know what people think of the filter.

This is a debatable subject. My experience with K&N's is yes the flow alot more but they also allow alot more crap to pass by them. I know you can buy outerwares wraps for them and that helps but then your talking another $15+ for the wrap. I'd stick with a Foam UNI/Moose type filter they flow more than you will ever need and will protect your motor better in my opinion. I'd only run one if i was dragging on pavement, or riding pavement.

Ok cool thanks Slick, will stick with the foam. Where I ride in summer it is very dusty and in winter it is very muddy so I need something that filters good. I was interested in the K&N because I though that it would filter better. I ride with out my airbox lid so my filter gets dirty really quick.
