I'm with Tom on the pinhole light concern. Used them through the years on bikes and trucks and have experienced the same thing. I have found more fine dust in the airbox to carb boots using the (properly serviced) k&n's than the foam type filters. Give it a finger wipe test next time you got it off. I think that the k&n gained popularity in desert racing becausing of its ability to go the distance and not clog and still flow good while dirty. In DSN_klr650@egroups.com, Tom Myers wrote:

i think with a k&n filter and stock exhaust, you dont have to rejet, just keep an eye on the spark plug condition, but with both a free flowing exuast and aftermarket filter i think you have to. The bike is getting much more air than it ever used to and now you have to add fuel to compensate. Dont quote me on this, but i am going to rejet once i get my k&n filter. Does anybody else know for sure? -markus

I use a K&N...but then, my KLR sees practically NO off-road action...at least it hasn't yet.

Chuck, That doesn't surprise me at all. I like the NoToil brand of filter and maintenance items. They are environmentally friendly and easy to use. My recent oil analysis suggests the filter is working well. Once I have a trend established I'll know more. But for the last 12,000 miles in some pretty dusty conditions it seems to work. They breath well and don't pass dirt that I can see as I inspect the carb side of the filter opening each time I service the filter. The filter maintenance products are available under the NoToil, Honda or Kawasaki labels. Same products, just different labels on the bottles and tubes.

Stock. I wouldn't use a K&N in my lawnmower. Charles Marsh wrote: I just read a disturbing report on air filters and the K&N was rated worse for letting dirt thru. What does everyone use?
