K&N Filters

[bobbfrommn]

Question on my air filters. I've determined they are K&N RU-2989's. But since the guy I bought them from didn't put them in he had no information on care or maintenence. I can probably figure out how to take them off and put them on but does anyone know if there is any special way you need to clean them?

Second question. I've seen lots of comments about removing the "Y" for better performance. What exactly is that? "Y" is too short for the search engine here to give results.

Thanks for any help

Get a K&N filter recharger kit at O'Reilly's or Advance Auto. It comes with a cleaner solution and oil. Directions are included.

The "Y" is the top part of a stock Vmax air box. Since you're running individual filters this doesn't apply to you.

I guess you may need to clarify this for me. It doesn't matter what they look like from an outward appearance. As long as they aren't torn and still clamp onto the carb there is no problem using them,

They are dented and there are a couple of small holes in the screens.

I stopped at advance auto parts today and they checked the computer and said k&n was out of stock on them?:ummm:

i will check out that set on ebay i guess

 

[Bill Kratzenberg]

They are up to $52.00 on ebay.
Advanced wants $144.00 for the set.
I'm going to bid unless anyone else from the forum is already bidding.
I didn't recognize any names.

I think that these would work good as long as you kept them oiled.
