Stage 1 or Not

I defiantly plan on doing an exhaust upgrade but I may just stay with the stock air filter for now

To do it right you need to change/modify all three. Air in, air out, and fuel mixture/timing. All at once. You'll just be making it run lean if you just change the exhaust. Also if you ride a lot don't go with the open filter.

Please tell us why? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Well in my experience an open, lightly oiled air filter collects a lot more dust and dirt than a covered one. You can get a high flow K&N that will sit behind a cover and work just as well. I've also been to a big rally and seen someone put the cigarette out in one of the open one's. Isolated case I'm sure but made me think about it.

Ive decided to go with the Arlen Ness Stage 1 Big Suker Kit With a Standard Filter and use my stock cover...
