Thinking of fitting a K&N air filter are they worth the cost :?:

Depends what you want to achieve - plus you'll need rejetting and some dyno time. Along with freer flowing cans can give a little more topend and increase an already poor fuel consumption.

Look in the Workshop section for various dyno charts > http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 36&t=28029

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

No .
You will need to buy the filter and pay for Dyno set up normally around £250 and you'll only get 1-3bhp

If every time you spent £50 you got 1-3 more Bhp I'd have 500 Bhp by now.

Or acting as an interesting grille ornament on an oncoming large thing.

One dem ting, sho' nuff.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
