    K&N Air Filter

    Hi all,

    Im new to RR and this forum. I have a question regarding K&N air filters, i just got one for my 94 3.9 Classic, its a Panel type (part no:33-2737) and it fits bang on snug as a bug, however the depth is way thiner than the old one ive taken out, is this how they are, I went for a drive and all seems well, does the idle or mixture have to be readjusted?

    Cheers Bruce

    K&n do not make air filters.

    they make bird cage parts.

    hold it up to the sun and then do the same with an OEM filter, you'll work it out.

    To answer the original question... no, you dont need to change the mix.

    don't use the K & N rock and bird strainer in dusty conditions. They are an engine room decoration, not a useful attachment.

    That is your biggest danger right there - the dust will kill your engine quickly in these conditions using that filter....

    Holy hell, the k&n is getting the flick after only a day..... back to the cardboard. In future ill stick with what the manual says .... Man we used to use the k&n's on our trial bikes 30 years ago and thought they were all the go.

    Thanks again,

    Yep, used to use them on race engines too, but bike and race car engines are rebuilt a lot more frequently than car/truck engines.

    I had a K&N on a 300Tdi once for about 15-20,000km. (I think)
    Now it's just an exxy paper weight.

    At least you asked and are willing to take advise. Just goes to show there are no dumb questions - you just may find out something new that will make your day (or ruin it depending on the advise...)
