    Default How to secure air filter

    I went on my first ride with the new K&N air filter and when I got back and checked under my seat, the thing had fallen off. Do you know how secure that so it doesn't slip out during a ride?

    The installation is performed by slipping the neck of the filter into the opening in the air box toward the carberator.

    Did you have the clamp tightened?

    Jeremy, it didn't come with a clamp. The neck of the filter slips into the opening of the air box. This filter does not wrap around the outside of the air box opening.

    The neck of the filter slips into the opening of the air box.

    Yup! Wrong one. The go on the outside WITH a big hose clamp to hold it in place.

    Either way it should have come with a hose clamp. That might have tipped you off that sumpin' was not right.
