I KNOW A GUY HERE N MY HOME TOWN THAT BOUGHT A 02 GSXR 1000 BACK N 04 WITH 16000 MILES ON IT HE TOOK THA AIR FILTER OUT THA SAME DAY AND RIDES IT WINTER SPRING FALL ETC HE NOW HAS OVER 100000 MILES ON THA BIKE IT STILL STRONG I HAVE A 08 GSXR 1000 AND I DONT RUN 1 EITHER KNOCK ON WOOD I HAVENT HAD ANY ISSUES TO EACH ITS OWN JUST MY .02CENTS IF U THINK IM BS IF UR EVER N PHENIX CITY AL AT THA TRACK ASK FOR DOG MAN

wether you think it is a good deal or not,with 100 miles or 1 million miles , simple fact is no air filter inside the airbox means dust or dirt will be raping the $hit out of your investment(YOUR BIKE) period.take 2 of the same engines with the same abuse & miles with only 1 difference,1 with a airfilter & 1 without a air filter.which of the 2 will show f-up piston rings & cylinder bores?you do not have to be Einstein to know the correct answer to this one.but hey, it your $hit & you can destroy it any way you want to. sooner or later yours & your friend's motorcycle will be keeping some motorcycle mechanic in phenix city,AL very happy.

I agree leave the filter in I run a BMC race filter with the billets short stacks and I clean the oil out of the filter for track use but I resprayed it for street use just my lil thing now if it worked or not who knows I can't really say if I picked up anything or not.
