Installing air filters, intake systems, exhaust and fuel management controllers, and tuning the bike for horsepower and performance is second nature to these guys. Cycle Solutions’ own Kim Waddell explained, “K&N approached us about using their oil filters exclusively on our mobile full service oil changing station. Cycle Solutions offers full service oil changes at performance parts, installation and tuning at over 25 motorcycle rallies each year. This lead to a discussion to also include K&N’s replacement air filters and performance based breather kits. K&N saw the value of putting their product and displays on the truck to be seen by hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists each year.

“Many of the product lines we sell on our performance tuning show truck features a K&N Air Filter such as Roland Sands, Performance Machine and Horsepower Inc. air cleaners. The benefits of the K&N filters are that they are a lifetime filter! They are a much better quality of filters unlike the paper filters that fall apart over time and can cause damage to an engine. Customers like that they can just wash them out and reuse. There is also a significant improvement in airflow that leads to significant performance gains. Plus K&N stands behind their product. We have very little issues with K&N products on the occasion that we have, K&N was there to resolve the concern.”

K&N Air Filter for the POLARIS Ranger RZR 170 Side by Side
Kids are smarter than we give them credit for. Sure riding along with dad in his side-by-side is more fun than an amusement park ride, but they recognize when they're getting the short end of the stick, because riding is never as exciting as driving. Combine the best-selling youth ATV with the hottest side-by-side on the market and you get the Polaris Ranger RZR 170.
Polaris Ranger RZR 170 Replacement K&N Air Filter

Some of our greatest discoveries have been made entirely by accident. Louis Pasteur, the father of pasteurization once said "chance favors the prepared mind," whereby he succinctly made inadvertent innovations respectable. On a list of the top 10 accidental discoveries, which records Penicillin on top, there's now strong evidence to support the view that K&N's 99-0621 and 99-0621EU Power Kleen would be an ideal candidate for the fortuitous find file. Clearly, at the very least, it could hold a responsible position between popsicles and chocolate chip cookies (number 8 and 9 respectively) on said list.
K&N originally released part number 99-0621 for sales in North America. Well that has finally changed for our international customers looking to purchase K&N's Power Kleen with the release of the 99-0621EU. The 99-0621EU meets all requirements to be sold in various European countries.
K&N Power Kleen can even clean grout
Originally designed as a high-performance air filter cleaner and industrial strength degreaser to remove grime and grease from K&N's cotton air filters, testimonials continue to mount praising K&N's Power Kleen virtues for a hodgepodge of various other smudge offenders.
Take Stacy, a York County, Pennsylvania mom who's made a ritual of cleaning air filters in her kitchen sink. "Recently our local pep boys store had a sale running on the K&N air filter Recharger kit, so we decided to buy it for the oil, but the kit also contained the cleaner, which I had never used on our micro sprint or the quarter midget in our past 8 years of racing," Stacy continued. "I sprayed the cleaner on the filter and let it sit in my kitchen sink to soak for the required 10 minutes like the instructions suggested, I got busy and had to run out of the house, so it ended up sitting there for a few hours. When I got home I went on to continue cleaning the filter and low and behold when I picked up the filter there was a beautiful white spot in my very old porcelain sink."
She went on to spray the entire sink surface, and then waited while Power Kleen performed its magic. "I rubbed, not scrubbed, over it with a brush and I now have a very white shiny sink. I have tried everything to clean this sink and nothing would take away those dingy yellow, old hard water stains, until now." Stacy was then inspired to use Power Kleen to polish her bathrooms with the same effortless results.
K&N Power Kleen works great on stains
In another testimonial, one mechanic writes that he buys Power Kleen by the 99-0640 five gallon pale, which he then uses to wash his oily, greasy work clothes. Yet another satisfied customer wrote that he noticed the rope light strung around his patio for years had started to dim from the accumulated greasy black film on the lights. "I used the K&N Power Kleen cleaner and it broke down the grease incredibly well." Power Kleen has been used for everything from getting stubborn stains out of carpets, to cleaning tile grout, to removing oil from concrete driveways, to cleaning dirty tools and gardening equipment, and the list goes on and on and on. Wherever there's smear, Power Kleen should be near.
K&N Power Kleen Saved This Sweatshirt
But, one of the most extraordinary applications of Power Kleen is also a personal endorsement. Having only recently received a new sweatshirt, I almost immediately mucked it up by dropping olive oil smack dab in the middle of the shirt. Then, to make matters worse, I committed an unforgiving laundry snafu, I washed and dried the shirt, setting the unsightly oil spill for all eternity. Having nothing to lose except my wife's disdain, who was the generous giver of the sweatshirt; I sprayed the stain with Power Kleen and let it soak for 10 or 15 minutes before dropping it in the washer. To my relief and my wife's disbelief, the K&N Power Kleen had absolutely removed the offensive, set-in splotch. Power Kleen turned what had been long rumored as laundry hopelessness - into a simple act of spotlessness.
Note: Make sure to always test the 99-0621 and 99-0621EU Power Kleen on a small area of whatever you're cleaning first to insure that delicate finishes don't get harmed

Dyno Chart for K&N Toyota Tacoma 4.0L V6 Air Intake 63-903
The 2012 and 2013 Toyota Tacoma has a reputation for having a strong build quality, possessing amazing reliability and because of its smaller size making it easy to get around, the Toyota Tacoma can be placed on par with many of its full-size competitors.

Lucas Oil Modified racer Jim Mardis stays in the battle for championship after LoanMart Arizona 100
Speed and youth make a heart racing combination. Add business sense, and you’ve got a racing team leader like Jim Mardis. Introduced to racing at a young age, Jim didn’t sit around and wait until his16th birthday to be a part of racing action. He purchased a go kart at age 12, then his first car - a Ford Pinto - at age 15. Not old enough to race at the time, Jim spent the next year learning how to adjust and improve a race car’s performance.
Jim Mardis and the Bluewater Technologies/JAM Sportswear/K&N Filters/Premier Wraps Modified car
In 2002, Jim, age 16, started off strong behind the wheel in the Orange Show Speedway’s Pony Stock Division in San Bernardino, CA. For the next 5 years, Jim balanced the demands of school, work, and racing; finding time when he could to prep his car for the races. In 2006, Jim and the Mardis racing team finished the season as the track champion and won 10 of 13 races. “That was a great accomplishment,” Jim commented, reflecting on his career highlights.
In 2007, 16 year old Jim Mardis entered the Lucas Oil Modified Racing Series. Between 2007-2008, as he built his skills (and rebuilt his car) in the Modified Series, Jim continued racing and winning in the Orange Show Speedway. In 2009, Mardis Racing launched a full attack in open wheel modified racing by entering all events in the Superclean Modified Racing Series. Between the three, Mardis Racing racked up multiple wins, awards and a track record. In 2010, Jim won his first Lucas Oil Rockstar Modified Championship.
Then Jim Mardis truly made history -- twice. In 2011, he won his second Lucas Oil Rockstar Modified Championship, becoming the only driver to ever do so. In 2012 he was recognized as the only driver to capture at least one win each season for the last 4 years. He also won the I-10 Speedway Championship in both 2011 and 2012.
Jim Mardis at LoanMart Arizona 100 Lucas Oil Modified race in Lake Havasu
Launch forward to March 2013, and we find Jim and the Mardis Racing Team tackling the LoanMart Arizona 100 in Lake Havasu, Arizona. They experimented with a different shock absorber set-up, and ended up qualifying in a less than favorable 19th/33 position. However, as Jim had done through his career, he stepped back to what he knew best, and decided to pick the drivers off one-by-one. By the end of the race he improved to 6th place; enough to keep him in the championship battle. This race was recorded for future broadcast, you can look for Jim as the featured driver to watch in the #51 Bluewater Technologies / JAM Sportswear / K&N Filters / Premier Wraps Modified car.
2011 Lucas Oil Rockstar Modified Champion Jim Mardis
Jim’s strength in car building has helped boost him throughout his career. He has used K&N products on his race car for years. When the opportunity came about with Team Lucas to partner with K&N, Jim said “it was a good fit for both of us. K&N products provide great quality and longer life. They are re-useable so they help economically. The air filters flow more air which provides a benefit to help produce more horsepower.” And Jim certainly knows about producing horsepower.
Following the March 2nd race, Jim entered the April 6th event at Lucas Oil I-10 Speedway and won. Congratulations Jim, and the Mardis Racing team on an impressive racing career, we look forward to an exciting 2013!
