Kinda interested in what riders are using and the results they are getting and service intervals.
Everyone likes a poll don't they?

This has been my targeted interval without any regrets. I always replace plugs at the same time and every other time do a TBS....With the million that I have changed I would say the stock filter can run probably 30+K miles depending on "off road" use...
Hi Jaxon, I purchased the UNI filters from you. Got my curiosity when you mentioned “supporting mods”. Would you mind listing them?I would say that most people run the stock filter and run them about 20K miles. With the million that I have changed I would say the stock filter can run probably 30+K miles depending on "off road" use.
I personally like the UNI, and is serviceable. They do make a performance difference with supporting mods.
We have also installed many BMC filters as well. They are similar to K&N but with more filters 'cotton' and an overall better filter than the K&N (IMOP) This filter is also serviceable
On a side note: next time you change your filter, make sure you push out (pop) out the two drain pins at the bottom of the 'dirty' side of the air box. You push them out from the inside of the air box. This will allow any water to quickly drain so it doesn't slosh around in the air box.
20-30K miles sounds like a lot of miles for a stock filter, knocking the dust out every 5K or so? All depending on the riding conditions as mentioned.I would say that most people run the stock filter and run them about 20K miles.

Im just guessing, but I would think the standard is the one Ive been installing and "race" anything is probably much thinner "filtering" media to let more air in, a slight bit less restriction on a race engine.20-30K miles sounds like a lot of miles for a stock filter, knocking the dust out every 5K or so?

I've read BMC offers two filters, one for racing one for street use. Do you know the difference ? I would think the racing one would be fine for street use, curious why two are offered ??
Do you know if the cleaning solution and oil treatment are the same as K&N's?
And lastly, do you leave the plug out of the air box? Maybe cover the hole with Gortex or something??
Thx
I agree with you Ron, most stock filters I see are being replaced at about 26K all look about the same. Not really that dirty really.Stock filter every 26,000 miles during valve check works fine for me. Even though we are dirty and dusty and dry as a bone here in Colorado, not very dirty at 26,000 miles.
HI there do high flow last like 20k to 30k? Like oem?If I find a good deal on the stock filters, I'll buy a couple at a time. Otherwise, it's usually a HiFlow which a friend that ran her own shop suggested was comparable to OEM and a better price. I haven't seen anything to argue against that.
