Thanks Kurt. Can I get an "all in favor" for the UNI NU-4062 Air filter for my '83 CB650 or is there still a debate with the K&N? I have a filter but it appears to be the original filter and it is diirrty. I don't think they're cleanable/reusable. Sorry, it seems that the same subject is brought up multiple times.
Also, some exhaust is coming out near the exhaust pipe flange - bad gasket? and I don't know how this is possible but appears to be an oil leak under the alternator. I think this was ridden with a dirty air filter for a long while. Probably need to check the pistons and clean the cylinder block right?
