Using this K&N air filter is easy. First, make sure your motorcycle is turned off. Locate the stock air filter housing and carefully remove the old filter. Then, place the K&N air filter in the housing, ensuring it fits snugly. Close the housing back up. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to check the filter regularly, especially if you ride in dusty or dirty conditions. To clean the filter, use a K&N filter cleaning kit. Follow the instructions on the kit for the best results. Don't use harsh chemicals or tools that could damage the filter. Also, always let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. If you notice any signs of significant damage to the filter, it's time to replace it.
