MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 2m 12d Posted 19/02/09 12:00 PM Share Posted 19/02/09 12:00 PM Hi fellas.Is replacing the stock F6 (BF II) air filter recommended - not talking about going to a pod - just the filter. Something like a K & N or is there something better?What amount of power (if any) is gained by doing this?Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
