    Will a KN air filter enhance the performance of my '07 VFR?

    I`ve already got BOS GP1 slip-on.

    Probably not. I'd spend the money on a PC3 and dial it in instead.

    If you buy a K&N (like I did),you'll see the filter media is smaller than the stock unit.
    I would assume they flow the same or only marginally better than stock.
    The only advantage is that it can be cleaned and re-oiled and you'll save the expense of air filter changes.


    Oh,yeah.....you get a cool K&N sticker to put on your bike!!!!!hahahaha

    Id get the air filter and a PCIII. I cant claim any HP gains, but I know my bike pulls harder since me mods, and I have to think my BMC air filter, LV pipes, and PCIII helped...

    git'er dun!

    BMC filter has more flow area than a K&N. Plus BMC makes a "race" filter also.

    (and BMC stickers are cooler than K&N stickers. K&N stickers are so................yesteryear.)
