Wow, ya went from an RM125 to the G with 18 yrs inbetween...ya must have been married or something to a less than understanding wife or was the G a sign of...
Okay, my new found independence after the divorce may have had something to do with the purchase of the G. I made two great decisions that year, got rid of...
Here's mine: The first time I ever tried to do a long haul trip ended in a near disaster... It was 1989 and for some funky reason, I decided that I'd try to...

I do not believe the K&N would make any difference in how the bike runs, at least comapred to an OEM filter change. Maybe your old filter was really dirty and...
