The advantage is that the K&N can be cleaned and reused.

Tools Needed:
Stanley Knife,
Chissel (Sharp - Wood)
Sand Paper,

1. Remove the Paper filter close to the houseing with your stanley knife, easy peasy job.

Image

2. remove the filter gauze from the under side, there are 6 abs plastic blobs/lugs, i found a sharp chisel easiest and gave it a sharp tap to cut the heads of. a stanley knife would do it but due to working within the housing it may be tricky.

Image

3. cut either the right or left hand shoulder from the filter, ONLY CUT OFF/REMOVE ONE SIDE i used my stanley several times just score the surface and go over it 10 times and the knife will drop through the plastic is very soft so dont force it, just take your time.
(i cut the LEFT hand side,) this pic is upside down btw.

Image

Image

4.remove the remainder of filter paper around the houseing with a "SHARP "chisel, and then sand off the excess to remove any chance of break down entering the engine/fueling system.

Image

5. then fit to bike, and have a beer.
