Hey All,
I'm looking at replacing the air filter on my 821 monster and was wondering what the opinions were for the best option out there.
I've looked into K&N, MWR, BMC, etc., but have had trouble deciding.
It seems a common opinion is that K&N is a great all-around upgrade, but MWR will probably yield the best performance increase being a "race" air filter. But the higher flow racing filters could also theoretically allow more dirt/dirty air into the engine. What is the actual trade-off here? Is the engineering on these filters good enough that the dirty air allowed through really isn't any worse than the stock filter?
Would love to hear thoughts!
