i dont believe if you put in a k&n air filter that means you have to "jet" the carbs .. now if you put on a full exhaust system you will . cant wait to see the pixs

Here's what you need to know about oil and filters:
http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Consumables.html#Oil
I found that I was able to fit the 3.25" filter on my 97 F3, but there isn't enough clearance to use a filter wrench, so I hand-tightened it.

This guy doesn't think much of K&N air filters:

i had the K&N in mine and didn't rejet it, i also didn't use motorcycle oil. I used regular 10w40 that didn't say energy conserving on the little circle label on the back. I also used a fram oil filter and never had a problem with that aswell. But now that i have my 929 for some reason i don't mind getting the honda oil and parts probably cause i get a discount.

hiflo /k&n oil filter fram all will do th job . the air filter a k&n is not a bad investment . before u purchase one check to see never know there might be one in there already n all u might need is a recharge kit for like 12 bucks .i run mobil not really any complains. that center stand will come in handy you got some good stuff with the bike you wont regret the buy be safe have fun ride within your limits ,

I had to rejet my '97 after adding the K&N filter.

In retrospect I wish that I would've left the stock filter there. You'll have to clean the wet filter about every 2-3K miles.

Also, use oil that's meant for motorcycles. The additives in regular oil break down much quicker than MC oil. You should be able to buy a gallon of Motul for about $25. Oil is cheaper than engines.
