Idle would not have to be touched, as I'm positive the OEM filter has zero restriction at idle. And from what little I know about the OEM air filter, I'm quite sure it has little.... to no restriction at mid throttle/crusing also. If the OEM filter does have restriction at WOT, and I'm not saying it does....or how much, but then of course it will run leaner, but only at WOT. If it has been main jetted for the Dana, it may not need anything. In short,.....have evidence of running lean before re jetting !

I can promise you that there is more to that story. There is no way that changing to a less restrictive air filter would make any engine run that bad,....let alone make these bikes unridable. But if you really believe that, so be it.

Is it the panel type of K&N air filter (that uses the stock airbox)?

I agree, I've never seen a performance improvement.

I like 'em because I can go so long between cleanings. I had one on my '81 GL1100 for over 90,000 miles and ended up selling the bike before I ever cleaned it.

Talk about bang for your buck! Smiley
