Here is my air filter.

Thanks for sharing Jimmytee,
Looks like you definitely needed to change that out.

I changed out mine at just under 22000 miles, after I got back from my trip of just under 8000 miles, to the most northern part of Maine, leaving from Blythe, CA. the desert, hahaha.

It didn't hurt changing it, but it really was not too bad. Of course the leading edges of the pleats catch and show the dirt, but opening up the pleats the filter doesn't look too bad. Yes definitely changed it after digging down to replace it though.

Not at all bad...I have seen a couple of K&N filters pulled at 50,000 miles and they looked almost a clean as new..A lot depends on where you live and the weather you ride in!!....Ride safe....

That's because K&N filters let so much of the dirt through!

I bought one of those inspection cameras a few years ago and keep finding new uses for it. I check brake pads and do other inspections without having to crawl under the vehicle. I'm definitely going to have a look at my air filter.

I changed mine on time as well...could have gone to 50,000 miles easily !!!

Dave, I take exception to your post about the K&N filter...Data from many sources do not support your statement..Maybe an opinion on your part, but not accurate...Those of us, including myself, that have used these filters for years without any problems I am aware of, also might disagree with you....As for me, I will continue to use K&N in all my vehicles as I have done for thousands of miles and many, many years....Ride safe

I'm using the Whistler 9mm camera

You can get a good, cheap remote inspection camera from Harbor Freight as well.

Kind of sensed that it was a joke Opas....

But anyway.... who in the hell is going to spend extra money into installing (and subsequent cleaning)of a washable, cleanable air filter in a F6B's innards when cheaper paper filter elements are proven to do a better job at filtering?

K&N's are cool when you can SEE them. Not so cool when they're buried. I only use K&N's for the aesthetic factor.

The end of the camera or scope is lighted. I can run it through the intake air ducts.

OK Thanks.
