March 27, 2009
For over 35 years K&N have manufactured serious air filters completely unlike traditional disposable filters. Their air filter is designed to achieve high, virtually unrestricted air flow while maintaining filtration levels critical to ensure long engine life.
Their secret lies in the unique characteristics of their filter medium.
The high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive engine.
The filters consist of four to six sheets of cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminium wire mesh.
This media is then pleated and oiled to enhance its filtering capabilities and overall performance. The result is an air filter that allows dramatically more air into an engine, is washable and reusable, and will protect your engine for the life of your vehicle.
K&N Air Filters for ATV’s are ideal for extended use in dirty and dusty off-road riding and provide clean carburetion even at high altitude.
As a rule, no jet changes are required with just a K&N air filter element; however the spark plug condition should be checked for proper mixture after the first few miles of riding.
If the airbox has been modified for increased air flow, the main jet size will need to be increased to provide the proper fuel mixture.
There is a warranty for 1 million miles. This is because their filters are engineered to last the life of your engine.
For every 50,000 miles, it is recommended that you clean and re-oil your K&N Air Filters for ATV’s, then put it back in your engine and it will perform almost like new.
