Uni sells a recharge kit too. Like I said their "oil" is a sticky
substance more than an oil I would get that rather than the K&N.
Since the uni is foam based rather than cloth.

Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] K&N filters
Hmmm. JC Whitney sells a UNI foam filter for $9.99 and if I bought
the K&N air filter oil (aerosol can) for $8.18 I would be in it for
a lot less than an actual K&N filter. I wonder....

the one i just got was not preoiled. it took 5 minutes to install
and now my bike runs much better. more hp and its low idle was
mitigated as well. i think a dirty filter was the cause of a number
of my issues. the oem one was dirty as hell.

Paul,
Usually they come pre-oiled - but they recommend that you
wash and re-oil them after a certain number of miles.

I've never purchased a K&N filter before. Does it come with the
fluid/oil for the filter?

Graham,
It more resembles Marvel Mystery Oil - its red in color -
a very light oil - it is lighter than transmission fluid but a
similar color.
As to 'how can you tell its better' - I don't know - I
assume you can flow test it on a bench - but I can confirm that I
did get more power and gas mileage with the K&N than before.

Javier is correct - K&N's are washable and can be re-coated with
their 'Filter Fluid' - they also provide more flow without losing
filtration than a stock filter (usually a good thing but not for
lean jetted Hondas!) I run one on my car and got about two more
miles to the gallon because it uncorked a few more ponies in the
engine and it doesn't shift down as much.

I think the K&N are reusable, and the others are not.
I think.

Can someone explain to me why K&N air filters are so expensive?
What about the filter justifies the added expense?
