I re-used my clamps, so I think you can too.

Would the process to change the air filter be the same for a 2004 as your 2007 GS500. Also, the clamps that hold the gas line hoses, do they readily spring back into position or should I have replacements on hand just in case.

Based on ...I am not sure about a K&N on a 2009. Based on the name, it would be restricting the air into the bike and thus the carb. With too much air, you'd run a bit rich and foul up the plugs. The bike should still run however. <br /><br />I would follow K&N's recommendations if it were my bike. They should understand the effects of their filter better than anyone else.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-45831255227542324542012-03-12T18:02:51.306-05:002012-03-12T18:02:51.306-05:00hey i just got K&N SU5589 and i followed the a...hey i just got K&N SU5589 and i followed the above steps now my question is when i replace it KN Air Filter installation instructions mention about " On an unmodified Motorcycle the air flow restrictor must be installed in the air flow inlet" and it was not provided with the product so i called K&N and they are sending it now, my question is for GS500F 2009 is it required to have the Airflow inlet or i can just use the the filter as is, please advice, i cannot drive the motorcyle unless i get the part or replace with the old one?kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837887439848195001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-85146534670035487282011-10-31T13:06:44.448-05:002011-10-31T13:06:44.448-05:00Anonymous: Glad I was able to help.<b>Anonymous:</b> Glad I was able to help.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-68298534938483518382011-10-29T22:34:07.653-05:002011-10-29T22:34:07.653-05:00Thank you so much!

Did I get that wrong? But id you'd be removing the hoses, wouldn't you want the tap switched off? <br /><br />The air filter on my K75 is one of the few things you do not have to remove the tank to access... But it is an even bigger pain in the ass with a myriad of little connectors. <br /><br />I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to see you in Bloomsburg. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.com
