Just out of curiosity...
Would adding a K&N air filter lower my mpg?

No, It will not make you scoot go faster either. It will just make more noise from the derestricted intake. Much like aftermarket exhausts just make more noise and no better performance or improved MPG.
Been there… Done that

It will Enhance A PCIII Power Commander,if you have a Special Spark for it,An Exhaust does Add 1 HP no More then that..

Scooter Engines are Only Built to put out So Much!! there not High Output like a Motorcycle Engine.

Elliott,

The reason to buy a K&N is that it (should) last forever and can be cleaned and re-oiled regularly and easily. I'm still waiting for them to build one for my 650.

Is the K&N a straight swop over ?

Yes, but it's a real PITA trying to get it in, plus you lose snorkel if I remember right. I tried installing several times on my 08 400 and it just never fit, then gave up on it.
