  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

All 2st K&N air filter

Heard alot of bad things, they don't filter as well as a foam filter. Not worth the risk of toasting your motor for a very small performance gain.
 
never actually seen one on a dirt bike, never talked to someone that has run one, might have to go with the rest of the herd and stay away from them!
 
I had one years ago on an enduro bike. I thought that it let very fine dirt through, even though I tried my best to wash it properly and use plenty of oil on every millimeter of gauze.
 
oiled foam for DB's, paper OEM type for tow veh's.

we've done exhastive studies here with them gause/wire filters. those things are garabage. they dont work from the get-go and get worse the first time you clean one and get really worse each time after that.

yer engine....but i STRONGLY urge against them things.
 
I used K&N on an old '84 XR350 I had for several years. When properly oiled I never had trouble with them filtering well (or water issues any worse than any other filter), BUT I had have a problem that caused me to quit using them, and that was with the rubber seal material.
After a while the rubber seal would get hard and shrink slightly making it tough to get a fit like it should or seal well. I would have to leave it in hot sun or heat someway to get it go back on.......had same issue with a round K&N filter on a truck once as well.

Finally pitched it and went with a foam filter, currently all my bikes have TwinAir filters

Great for single use on a high output enginge, like a car for road use, which I run on my V8 5.4l Ford

For dirt bike applications NO NO NO
Stay with the oiled foam type, and you should be safe
