K&N Air Filter Users....
Those of you running K&N Filters on your SV's...or any other bikes...have you ever done a Used Oil Analysis?
How were your results?
I thought about buying a K&N for the SV but I just haven't got around to it yet, though I have one in my vintage Honda CB650SC. I just got an oil report back on the Honda and silicon content was very high and Lead and Iron content was above normal indicating excessive wear of bearings possibly attributed to the high silicon content.
For now, the K&N is getting pulled and an OEM paper filter is going back in at least until I pull another sample at the end of summer and see if there is any change.
Just curious what others might be experiencing.
