I'm curious. What is wrong with the blue rubber filter? I have that one & the K&N & have A-b'ed them. Only difference is the K&N lets more top end clatter come through when the bike is cold.

If I sell the black one I will tell you the blue one is junk. If I sell the blue one I tell you the red one and black one are junk.
I will then pay a few people that work for me to go on the net and start the game.
Did you hear those blue ones are junk you need the black one.
Big game. Not a dam thing wrong with the stock washable filter.

Dawn dish soap and water. Get a bucket at least 5 to 6" deep and put a good squirt of dish soap in it and then fill it with hot water from the tap. Submerge the element in the water and let it soak for 15-20 minutes, occasionally swishing/swirling it around to dislodge the dirt and oil. Pull it out and let it air dry.

I just use the hose and wash from the inside so that the water is going out of the filter instead of in. Keep rinsing till it's clean. Air dry while I am finishing the service and then put back on.
