Is it okay to replace the stock air cleaner with K&N or Buell Race Cleaner while keeping stock exhaust and ECM? I have always heard power gains are possible with cleaner change but I keep reading cautions on leaning the fuel ratio with higher air flow. It seems that this caution is always associated with cleaner AND exhaust but I hate to assume. Thanks! |

I ran this configuration for a season and went back to the paper/stock filter. The engine will run a bit lean/hot (evidenced by sparkplugs). I don't think dangerously so, but the risk was not worth it for me. I have an 03. De-snorkling it smoothed up the lower revs enough to satisfy me... Simply my opinion. More will surely follow. |

I ran like that for a while. I wouldn't recommend doing it for a long time though. A better plan would be to wait until you have all the pieces. |
