Using your K&N replacement air filter is easy. First, make sure your motorcycle is turned off. Open the air filter housing and remove the old filter. Place the new K&N filter in the housing, ensuring it fits snugly. Close the housing and you're ready to go. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to check the filter regularly, especially if you ride in dusty or dirty conditions. You can clean the filter with a K&N cleaning kit following the instructions on the kit. This will keep your filter working at its best and your engine running smoothly. Just remember, never use harsh chemicals on the filter as it can damage the material and reduce its effectiveness.
