K&N in bmw
i have used the K&N on my bmw r11gs and it has been good - saved me a lot of money over the years. it started showing daylight through the gauze somewhere in south america. i had used and treated it as per the instructions on the box, but didn't bring the K&N filter oil with me on my trip and, as per instructions, didn't want to apply other oil.
the point is, you can not expect to find K&N stuff when you are a long way from home. possibly another reason to use another type of filter. maybe try filter skins for washable extra protection.
i cut some foam, used normal air filter oil and put it around the circular K&N with cable ties. worked well, and would on other circular filters too i think.
cheers,
andy.
