I was tinkering with the bike today and decided to check/clean the air filter.
The inside conerned me somewhat. There was a small amount of engine oil, presumably from the breather, and some fine grit all stuck to the oily bits. I have recently done a track day, so the engine was working harder than normal that day.
I have a piper cross filter, could this be the cause of the fine grit? I checked and cleaned the filter and there was no sign of damage of leaks. How do they perform in general? Are K&N's better? Shousl I oil the Piper Cross filter?
Can I remove the engine breather from the air box and block the hole? I'm thinking a small filter on the end like in the Hooked open airbox?
Is that enough questions? .. . . . . . :confused
