Is a k&n style air filter better for motorcross bike?

Question

does a k&n style filter make any difference to a dirt bike or any bike for that matter?

Answer 1

those are sht dont put it in, they let to much dust paricles through, which will eventually wreck your motor

Answer 2

I drag race motorcross bikes and have a crotchrocket with one on. they both seem to do better with K&N on it rather than just the standard airbox/ any other kind of filter brand. i just make sure i recharge them with the K&N recharger kit after a little while

Answer 3

K&N air filters are good for everything, I use them on all my dirt bikes and snowmobiles, they make it possible to actually remove teh air box for maximum air flow.

Answer 4

The biggest thing you can do to make a difference is to clean and oil the filter after every ride.  As it doesn't matter what brand you have if it is dirty.
