Any thoughts on using K & N air filters on the old GSs? I have a 1980 GS 550L and was curious about anyone's experience with usiing K & N air filters on their bike? Thanks!

stock or pod?

I was wondering the same question but with one addition. Do you prefer the stock type filters or do you use the pods?

with the 550 you can only use the k and n models ment for the 82 katana, they fit on all cv style carb model 550's. There is no room to fit any other type filter. You also must rejet you carbs to run these filters with a dynojet kit. do a search in the performance section for 550 owners only or sumtin or a search with my name to find a post that tells about the mods you can do.

If I use the K & N stock airbox replacement filter will I need to re-jet the carbs?

you may need to kick things up a little bit cause the k and n replacment will flow more air, you may need to raise the needles by using some little washers you can get at radio shack and go up a main jet size or two. i am not to sure cause i went the whole way. ask in the tech forum about replace oem filter with k and n air box filter and see what people suggest doing to your carbs.

I recommend K&N filters too.
Re: K & N
I really doubt you would have to re-jet for this. Maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 turn out on the mixture screws? Just oil it correctly.airportcop said:
