K+N Filter
The part number for the K+N air filter SU 2599 is the same for both the 250 and the 400 so it is possible that the same filter will fit the 650 if the air box is the same shape.
Norman B could compare his two Burgmans.

It is a totally different type of air filter. The 650 uses a disposable paper element filter. I bought one from Ron Ayers last Summer and I still have it on a shelf in my garage. I don't remember it being that expensive. My original filter has not yet become dirty enough to need replacing. The 400 is a re-oilable foam type filter from what I gather.

Perhaps if someone was to contact K&N, there might be an existing filter that will fit the 650, or if not, then maybe enough requests will trigger the production of one. :wink:
I understand these are all reusable so the initial cost may be a little high, but you only have to buy it once.

Since the disposable paper element filter has gotten me almost 13k miles, I cannot see paying for a reusable K&N that you have to periodically clean and re-oil even if they did make one. More trouble than it is worth in my book.billmeek said:
K&N air filters do typically pass more air, which sometimes enhances performance slightly. However, I've also seen folks say that they pass more dirt through to the engine (as well as more air). There are people who will not use them because of that. I personally would not use one in my Burgman if they do release one.

I used to ride in the Asir Mountains, 9000 feet above sea level and found that my Ducati ran rich but after fitting a K+N I got better performance and the mixture was correct. The intake noise increased but the sound was great,it's a matter of preference.
Check this site http://www.dnafilters.com part number P-S6SC03-01 for the 650 2003 model Burgman.

And yet another choice, I was just listing a choice,
I happen to agree with you which I why I don't have a K&N filter in my 400,Yes K&N does make one for the 400 -
By the way next time check out Arizona Motorsports for the OEM There a little less, and good service (so far)

Randy,
I'm glad you did point it out to us! The more choices the better is right! Every time an aftermarket manufacturer comes out with a new component or accessory for a Burgman, they are showing some confidence that these scooters will sell well enough to justify their effort.
We also need to be able to give our opinion on any product though, and this particular one just doesn't stack up for me. That's all I was doing. I certainly wasn't criticizing you for pointing us to the product. I'm a bit too abrupt sometimes. Buy Hey! That's my only flaw! :roll:

The BMC filter does cost $65.55 US, but it doesn't need cleaning until 25000 kms and even then the kit is about $15.00 US to do the job.
Might even be a performance boost too.
Worth a look.
