K&N Goes Big with New High-Flow Air Filter for 2006 to 2013 Kawasaki KVF650 Brute Force 4x4i

RIVERSIDE, CA, -- K&N High-Flow Air Filters are already very popular for all ATV enthusiasts, both for sport and utility. The new oversized K&N Filter for the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Kawasaki KVF750 Brute Force 4X4i and 2006 through 2013 Kawasaki KVF650 Brute Force 4X4i (part number KA-7504) offers amazing benefits and is sure to take the market by storm.

As any utility equipment user may notice, the surface area on the K&N Filter is much larger than the stock unit providing a substantial gain in air-flow. This significantly larger, pleated filtration area combined with a highly effective design allows for greater service intervals (more riding, less cleaning) and significant increases in air flow (NOTE: because of the increase in air-flow, you may need to re-jet your vehicle). The four layers of woven cotton media allow for increased filtration - better than typical stock, two layer, foam filters. Combining these elements with our built-in, protective backfire screen, K&N's Kawasaki KVF750i filter offers a significant increase in torque for your utility ATV as well.

K&N invented the pleated cotton filter more than 35 years ago for the powersports market. Today K&N has engineered its famous technology to fit nearly every vehicle running. Designed to increase airflow, K&N Filters offer more surface area, outstanding filtration, and optimized air flow when compared to typical disposable replacement filters.

Designed to be installed with simple hand tools, the K&N Filter can be cleaned with K&N's (99-5050) Recharger® Kit for a lifetime of high-performance filtration and protection. In addition, K&N offers a complete line of Performance Gold Oil Filters for powersports and street vehicles (KN-204 for the Brute Force 4x4i).
