yamahaty Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have k&n pod filters on my quad now. But the get clogged up really fast and the bike starts to bog till i clean them. Im getting sick of cleaning the mid-ride. I ride in mostly woods and train tracks with occasional water, Whats the best filter set up? It has toomey t-5s on it now. Also will i have to re-jet?

Chip M Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I run K&N also but in a stock air box. I clean it on a regular basis, but that would be after 3 or 4 ride trips. Never have a dirt problem and I also run mostly trails. Do you use the recharge kit on your filters? They say it keeps out the fine particles. Also I know the outerware socks that they sell will help keep the dirt from getting on filter. Water on an open filter system would always be trouble but you do get better air flow than you would if you switched to a airbox. I would try to keep what you have and just add the outerware and do the precharge. Go around the water if you can. LOL. Good luck Advanced Auto Parts sells the K&N recharger kit. It comes with the filter cleaner and oil. Most people here use it on the motocross tracks http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=74 http://www.motosport.com/dirtbike/OUTERWEAR-PREFILTER-FOR-KN-AIR-FILTER http://www.knfilters.com/search/wrap.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i might try the box, thanks for the help.Oh and mine has outerwear. Edited May 7, 2012 by yamahaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 most people on this site seem to really like k&n filters with outerwears..i never had good luck with them, i personally think they are absoultly scrap for dusty off road conditions! my slides were alway dirty after a ride when it was dusty.. switched to uni filters! so far so good!!
