The instructions will be very straight forward, and should be no problem. The K&N filter should be pre-oiled.

For normal maintainance you will need to clean and oil the filter on occasion. K&N makes a kit for this that is easy to use and comes with detailed instructions.

Regards,


Bill

I put one on my 03 RK, it hooked up real simple. As you said the instructions are pretty much useless, but it is a pretty straight forward install. If I could do it, anyone can.
