Review on 🏍️ High Performance K&N Motorcycle Oil Filter for Select BMW Motorcycles - Designed for Synthetic or Conventional Oils, KN-164 , Black by Jerry Mills

Revainrating 1 out of 5

False compatibility claim and unresponsive support

Although the description specifically states that this filter is compatible with my motorcycle (BMW K1600 GTL 2014) as you can see in the picture, K&N is on hand to install the external screw notorious for interfering with shifting and making upshifting impossible. After I returned the filter to Revain and received a refund, I emailed K&N to report the issue so they could correct their erroneous compatibility description. Got an automated reply to my first email saying they are very busy and will get back to me when they can. When I haven't heard from them after 2 1/2 weeks I sent an additional email and still no response. As I had to travel the next day and didn't have time to buy a compatible filter, I had no choice but to put my old filter back in - not the best solution!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
