K$N Filters??? Are a set of K$N filters worth getting for the 12. What does it do for the bike? Hp, better throttle response ect?
How much is a set?

I don't have a HP dyno figure, but immediately after my K&N filter install, the bike picked up some acceleration. Wild guess 2-3hp? I donno, but you could feel the difference in the seat of your pants, & my bike started throttle wheelies in top of 2nd gear. Didn't do that before!
15-20 minute job. Do it...contact Wilson Weir, he's got them in stock & the best deal I found...

I say...get them even if they didn't increase power (and they do) because...they stop the dirt (SAND!!!) that gets AROUND the stock filters...
I recently took a ZX12 appart for a 1361 kit and was SHOCKED at how much SAND was in the air box on the 'motor side' of the filters !!!
Needs a life
Full throttle!

One thing to check, if the filters are tight (no I mean TIGHT) then you may want to shave a touch off the rubber strip on the front side of the filter. That will allow them to slide fully down into the airbox without binding up and bowing.
