I didn't for simple reason, 4000 is were the TUV emissions are done,most bikes have a blip around that mark,probably nowhere as noticable with a 150hp motor.
I used to use it as my personnel limiter and would change at 4 if i was pottering along,the PC got rid of it and it's pretty linear all the ...

Hi all,

Digressing slightly, as part of my ongoing 12K service I decided to change the fuel filter. Not due till 24K I know but decided to change it all the same.
WHAT A TW*T OF A JOB. BMW could not have made it harder if they tried. Hoses that won't part, pump assemblies that won't leave the tank ...

I have one, and I barely notice it. Then again, I don't have much interest in going WOT in a straight line.

Would be interesting to know which flows the most air. The airbox or the schnorkel, then you would know which was the biggest restriction and work on that. Has anyone flowtested them/ To my ...

K+N 042A6


Cheers. Ill be taking the bike apart for its winter service, clean and fiddle.

What I thought about last year was a bit blue peter too. The most restrictive bit seems to be the part where the schnorkel nips up where it curves through 90 degrees. Was thinking about cutting out the ...

san jose bmw in america - the product is called a powerfilter. It's a oval/round k&n, with an adaptor to fit it into the existing airbox. The advantages are A: much bigger filter area & B: the filter medium is vertical - so the crap doesn't just land on top of the filter medium. The adaptor (which ...

My understanding with the standard K&N is that the filter element does flow better than the OE one, but the plastic surround is (unnecessarily?) bigger so the actual cross sectional area being used by the air is smaller.

The net result is an airflow that is uncannily similar to the OE paper filter ...
