AMSOIL will custom build air filters to your specs (within their
guidelines). I think K&N actually builds the filters, so its suprising that
K&N has not come up with something.
I will check it out....
Would anybody be interested in a K&N filter if I can get the company to make
a batch ? I have no idea what the # required would be, but they have
actually made filters to spec in very low quantities (like 3).

Joe, there are no K&N's for the stock air box, however if you kept your old
air cleaner elements you can cut the old paper out and put in K&N material
or Foam material to make them reuseable. I've got a set I'm working on
putting K&N material in, but since we moved I haven't gotten back to that
project yet. There was also a post in the past (Bob Taylor I think) about
using foam material. I'll see if I can find it and send to you direct.

The air filter issue has me interested, cos I just reluctantly forked out
about $80 for a set of OEM filters. I gathered from a previous post the
K&N's you guys have fitted allow you to ditch the air box completely. If I
remember correctly the air box has a sensor (air pressure/temp/?) for the
EFI. If that's the case, it wouldn't surpise me it didn't run right.
Do K&N make filters to replace the OEM filter units? ie; retaining the
airbox?
Joe.

George,
maybe it is those K&N air filters?
While I ran the K&N's during the Utah rally and had no problems at
altitude, it really didn't seem much better than stock (I have a '93
with low miles). A fellow GTS'er I met at the Utah event, tried the
K&N's on his '94 when he got back and said it ran like crap - had a flat
spot, lost 10 mph off top speed. He has ~ 50k+ miles on his engine.
'94's are supposed to run richer than '93's and with a tired engine, we
theorize that the K&N's made the bike run richer so much so that the EFI
couldn't adjust for it - it only has certain ranges within it's
preprogrammed map. That's why K&N and others are coming out with these
EFI reprogrammers.
At higher altitude, thinner air, if you're already on the rich side,
then would only get worse. Do you also have a '94 and lot of miles on
the engine?
