Rj YaBB Newbies Offline Keep the blue side up! Posts: 6 BG, Ohio	Suzuki Savage Air Filter 12/11/12 at 17:23:30 I just bought a 2004 suzuki savage ls650. Is there anyway I can take the old air filter off completely and put an aftermarket K&N Air Filter on? It seems hard to find the right dimensions for an air filter! Any help will be appreciated. I am from Ohio. Thanks.

Don't know about the one that just clamps to the carb after you get everything out of the way.

If you say I can, do you know where I can get the parts? I would like to completely take out the stock air filter and put a k&n filter on. Is it difficult to take off?

Paper filters exist because they're cheap - not because they're good. They clog faster and are far too restrictive from the get-go.

This is true if you get one of the small pods that have a large step where the carb attaches. Look for one that has a small step and will look fitted to the opening of the carb.

It will be self explanatory when you see the pics.

No pic of the whole arrangement yet but I have included a pic of the air filter it will use.
