![]() ![]() ![]() My findings will be very hard to show in a photo but I'll have a go later on today. This is the same model that fits nearly all the new Triumphs. So I've got not idea how old the filter is? It is however a KN-204. It came fitted to a 2001 Fireblade I bought a few weeks ago. I've just looked at one of the old K&N filters I removed on Saturday. The bike is a low mileage 2010 Bonnie SE, any advice welcomed, and thank you to the few bikers who stopped to ask if all was O.K whilst I waited 2 hours on a cold mountain for the R.A.C. What should I be looking/listening for? Should I do anything else before I try this? I have ordered a new filter and oil, so will try and turn her over (without plugs), then try and fire her up. The engine turns freely with plugs out using rear wheel in gear. ![]() And, I am prob'ly gonna do the engine repair myself but have not looked inside as yet, so what would you do first? My questions are: Has anybody been through this before, what was the outcome as regards K&N warranty. I have done a bit of research and found this has happened to others (exact same deal with the brazed nut) and that there is a warranty on K&N covering damage caused by failure. ![]() This is a K&N filter with only 5 months/2000 miles on it. I pulled the oil filter as it was still dripping from that and noticed that the oil was seeping from the brazed on nut. I didn't see the oil light come on but when I noticed it I slowed, pulled over to a (relatively) safe spot and killed the engine as it was just about to seize.Īfter cleaning off the oil, I set about looking for where it had come from, there was none above the sump and the oil line and unions looked good. Hi all, I recently had the misfortune to suffer a sudden loss of oil, most of which ended up on the rear tyre, (very lucky that I didn't spin out, but I don't feel so lucky at present). ![]()
