Thread: difference between stock air filter and Buell high flow filter?

  1. #1
    I am trying to figure out whether my bike already has the high flow filter in it already.only problem is that I found a pic of the buell high flow filter and thats what mine looks like, but i cant for the life of me find a pic of the stock filter. Is the stock by any chance a different color? mine black w/ whitish filter element. I have had a few k+n's in previous toys so its def not k+n.
    Also if it isnt the stock, then i can service it and that being said, could i use my k+n cleaner and oil on it? or do they use a different type?

    if that is a buell race filter part #29388-02yb- it is a black rubber and white washable paper, do not put oil or KN cleaner on it!!!! you can wash this filter in warm soapy rinse from the inside out and let dry (no compress air to dry)

    yep, thats the same as what i have. I just bought the bike from a dealer and the only thing they told me was that it had a jardine cf pipe, tail eliminator kit and bar end mirrors. I guess theres no way to figure out if whether or not my ecm has been re mapped or not?
