Innovative K&N Air Filter for Yamaha WR250F & WR450F Dirt Bikes Now Available

K&N Engineering released a new MX XStream, Replacement High-Flow Air Filter for the 2003-2015 Yamaha WR250F and WR450F (YA-4503).

K&N invented the pleated cotton filter more than 35 years ago for the power sports market. Designed to increase airflow, K&N filters offer more surface area (than foam filters), increased filtration and optimum air flow.

Installation of the K&N XStream Filter is easy. With the top removed, you can easily press the sides together to slide it in between your frame rails and install it into the air-box without the oily mess associated with many other air filters.

"This filter comes with a gasket, which makes it unnecessary to run grease at the base of the filter," said K&N Powersports Brand Manager, John Jump. "It's a nice benefit and makes for a very clean filtration system. On this particular filter, you mount the gasket directly to the airbox."

Kyle Krause, who currently races Expert in the Best in the Desert and WORCS Series, has been racing for 19 years now. "I ran the new MX XStream on a 450," said Kyle. "I noticed more power right away and the filter is very easy to install and clean.

Cleaning is a simple process and K&N offers a filter care service kit (sold separately) with everything needed to clean and re-oil your filter numerous times. K&N's larger filtration area offers riders longer service intervals meaning more riding and less cleaning.

No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana is nearly halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. During the first weekend of March, racer Doug Miller made his mark by winning NHRA Lucas Oil Super Comp: Division 4.

“I use a K&N oil filter and a K&N air filter in my scoop,” said Miller. “I never have to worry about the oil filter collapsing or bursting, and the oil is always good and clean.”

Miller also uses a K&N oil filter (HP-3002) and the AirCharger Intake System (63-1007-1) on his 1993 Chevy crew cab dually truck. “I could immediately tell the difference with the K&N products,” said Miller. “I noticed a lot more power when I was towing.”

The Houston, Texas resident is a deputy sheriff when he is not racing. “I drive a 2005 Kia Spectra to work,” Miller said. “I use K&N filters in my Kia (HP-1004) and all my vehicles, the product works.”

Miller is going to Memphis for a divisional race in a few weeks. “I hope to do well,” he said.
