I have been back and forth with K&N filters for many years. I've been riding motorcycles for 40 years now and have had them in some of my bikes and cars on and off over the years. I have some on the shelf in the garage right now. I even have a fresh recharge kit on the shelf too. I no longer use the K&N filters. At this time I'm at the point where I replace my car air filters every spring, no matter the mileage, using only good quality pleated paper filters .

I lived in Maryland until 2000. I now live in what I consider a high dust area. We have more dirt roads in Idaho then paved. With the wind we have all year, the air is often dusty. You can see it on your cars or motorcycles (especialy the black ones) hours after you clean them. Sometimes the day after you wash your vehicle, it can be so dusty again, you'll want to wash it again. And I have.

So...that is why I have adopted sticking with the pleated paper filters, which are said to be best for trapping the fine dust. If you live in a low dust area, you may like using the K&N.

BTW I buy my all of my Porsche filters from NAPA. I get he NAPA Gold. The price is right and so are the the parts. Check them out.
