🏍️ K&N High Performance Engine Air Filter: Fits 2006-2017 YAMAHA XV1900 Midnight Star XV19C Raider Bullet Cowl Roadliner S Stratoliner Deluxe SCL Midnight - YA-1906 Review

Used on a 2012 Stratoliner/Roadliner. There is slippage at the exhaust, and this detail gives the throttle a little more click.

K&N filters have been used for 20 years never had a problem with them fit and functionality have always been top notch good performance for the money and excellent protection for your engine

I have used a K&N air filter on my truck for years and recently installed it on my Yamaha Stratoliner. The filter is located under the tank and must be removed for installation. I expect it to last a lot longer than a standard replacement before I have to clean it again and the increase in airflow helps too.

The reason for buying a K+N filter is that it is the last filter you will buy for the lifetime of the car. You should clean them regularly, K&N makes a special cleaning kit for this. The filter is then reinstalled. Oh, the vehicle will breathe better and can also increase performance.

While K&N filters are great, they do require maintenance. That being said, if you don't mind after using it, take it off, dry it, and then re-oil it (but not too much) then it's fine. I decided to buy a second one to simplify this process, remove and replace, put a new one and timely service the old one.

Expected quality from K&N. Item arrived on time and installation was easy if you have experience or feel comfortable removing the raider tank yourself. The installation guide makes it easier than it really is. I recommend all hobbyists to go to YouTube themselves and look for a step-by-step guide on how to do this installation. Otherwise, contact a mechanic or dealer for installation.

The quality of these air filters is poor. The factory air filter is much better. The plastic frame of the K&N filters had extraneous burrs all over it and I had to use a sharp knife to cut off the burrs or the filter wouldn't fit in the airbox. It took some time for it to fit. This is for Yamaha Stratoliner motorcycle. I won't buy any other. I'm sticking with the factory air filter. Still not much different.
