Hi
I fitted a new K&N Air Filter to my 2002 Bandit 600s over the weekend.
The fitting was trouble free. I didn't take the tank off, just propped it up - but I did have to take the reserve fuel switch off to enable me to do this.
Now it's fitted, however, I have found that I have now lost all power between 6 and 8000 revs on 3rd gear and above.
Between these rev lines, the throttle seems to have no effect and then, after 3 or 4 seconds BAM - masses of power.
Any ideas what I've done wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
Steve

Hi Steve,
The air-fuel mixture will need to be dialed in to accomodate the increased air flow of the K&N filter.
Describe the appearance of the spark plugs.
I return tech information via email. Include your email address with reply.

AnswerSteve,
Spark plugs should appear as light shades of browns for best results. I recommend performing a plug chop, read the plugs, and study the air-fuel mixture.
From the limited descriptions provided, I suspect the new filter is affecting performance, not sealing properly, or some other condition exists. I would need to be present and perform a few checks to accurately diagnose the problem.
