Okay so I was thinking about changing a few things on my bike...a) because I need to but also b) to get more gas milage and/or power out of the bike...Nothing big but minor changes...one thing I have been thinking about is going from the OEM air filter to a K/N...any suggustions or complaints? Also I was thinking about getting new brake pads...anyone got suggustions or should I stick with OEM?

one, K&N filters have a bad rap for actually negatively affecting HP and performance primarily because the surface flow of the K&N is less than stock...plus you'll get into a whole debate as to whether stock filters are better than aftermarket...however, if you do decide to do aftermarket, the general consensus is that BMC will do you good...the street version does not require a PCIII and map, however the race version does as the increased air flow can mess with your air/fuel mixture so you need to remap the FI...
as for brake pads....you can't do much more on the stock rotors...you can get some better pads but they won't do much better braking on the stock rotors....so if you went to say wave rotors and HH sintered pads, you should have more bite to your brakes, but it's going to take a combination of both rotors and pads to do so....galfer has three types of compound pads...street, aggressive street (what i call them, essentially the HH sintered for the wave rotors)...and racing pads which require a certain thermal temperature to work effectively thus not good for the street....
although they may claim you get better braking....you'll get the most by upgrading rotors and pads and installing SS lines....or better bang...stay with stock rotor and pads and get SS lines....you'll feel like you have new brakes!
hope that helps....
