well i have just moved into fort meade maryland and i pulled my bike on a trailer. On the way 2 the trip it was raining and i believe water has got into my air filter. If i need another one would a k&n be ok? I have heard with our 05 636's we lose hp? Is this true ?

 

I can not speak for the 636 myself but I have had one in my R1 and have one in my ZX-7 and like them a lot. Not sure how you could loose hp but if you did lose 1 hp would you notice it, I can't imagine it be bad.
Ivan, the maker of the Ivans jetkit includes settings for his jetting using the K&N or BM filters.

 

i have an 05 636 and i've talked to acouple of techs at the stealership. they say, don't change oem filter with any after market... like a K&N... i forces too much air in the air box which throws the gas and air mixture off. in the end it also causes your bike to run like **** and lose hp...

 

That's just and excuse to get a power comander and then your ready for when you get the full exhaust, then new sprockets, then Gold DID chain, then new rear sets, OMG some help me.

 

let me get a priest to excersize the tuner poltergise out of you....

 

Hi every one my name is mike and I am addicted to modifing my bikes, cars, house well just about everything. It's been I hour since my last mod. the wind screen LOL

 

hi everyone, my name is RAY... it's been three months since my last windscreen chance... i think i'm doing pretty good.... plus i'm broke....[&o]

 

This was brought up before. I have everyting that notstock said in my 05 636 and let me tell you that if the k&n is making my bike run like crap then I would love to ride a bike that has a stock air filter in.[8D]LMAO My bike runs sweeeeet. I will say that you really dont notice much difference with the k&n, but i put one in everything i own.


So you can listen to a stealership who makes a crap load of money by selling you marked up kaw parts or from someone who used k&n in his bike for over 3000k JMO

 

but i have heard from others saying that to much air messes with the air/fuel ect. I mean that sounds resonably true....like i could believe something like that. But hey if more people have them on this fourms for the 636's then i might just go ahead and chance it.

 

Yes they do mess up the A/F mixture but that’s what the Power Commander is for. The PC lets you adjust the A/F. You can plug it into your laptop and install maps that are pre-made for the modifications that you are doing.

Once you get a full exhaust you can have your bike dyno'ed and a custom map made just for you. That cost about 250.00 bucks but it tunes your bike very well.
