Review on ๐Ÿ” K&N High Performance Premium Powersport Engine Air Filter: Fits 2003-2009 SUZUKI (SV650, SV650S, SV650SF, SV1000S, SV650A ABS, SV1000) SU-6503 by Kyle Costello

Adds wild horse sound at higher RPM

Note that this filter will add a new sound to your engine once you hit the 5-6k RPM range. You will hear a noticeable "gurgling". It sounds amazing to me, but it definitely increases the overall volume. A K&N employee I asked at a recent convention confirmed to me that their filter is indeed making the noise and that some people are complaining about it. In my opinion, it adds character to the bike, and in the case of the SV650, it's like a red flag to me that my little bike is now leaving the commuter bike zone and moving into sport bike territory, where you'd better be on your toes at all times. Installation wise it's perfect once you remove the OEM gasket and of course not having to buy another air filter is a huge plus (applying K&N filter oil may not be necessary for 30-50k miles until after 30-50k miles). be).
