Just curious how often it is people are changing their air filter? My shop tech told me every 8,000 miles. I thought the Fz1 service manual said 12,000 miles and I'm sure some people do it longer or shorter (K&N cleaners).
What are any advantages/disadvantages to any which way?
I personally am afraid to throw on a K&N because I was talking to the Two Brothers Racing customer service manager and he was explaining that when you do a slip on and an air filter without a PC or JBP that the bike will run too lean and have mechanical problems. Basically he said, no problem with just doing a slip on, but once you mess with the air flow in, then it's best to adjust with ECU flash or PC/JBP.
Also when I did my slip on I didn't do the AIS blocking because I like the popping sounds. Is this going to cause problems?
This is an air filter with 12,000 miles on it because I was lazy and got distracted. pretty gross.
