    Hi,

    I have just purchased all stock '08 SM610 model with 3100miles.
    Did some research on the forum and found you use three different filters:
    K&N RU-3190
    K&N RU-1770
    K&N RU-5006

    Which one is better for my Husky ?

    Thanks in advance for all answers.

    None of those are for your bike, unless you remove the airbox. Personaly and from those in the know I would stick with the stock filter, you will not see a performance gain (unless you remove the airbox) and I think those do a worse job of actual filtering, which might not be a big deal for SM.

    Just my thoughts on the subject.

    I did this. It is a UNI pod filter, part #up6245ast. My airbox is gone. The nuts holding the airbox cover started spinning in their place and I had to mangle the cover to get it apart, so I went ahead and did this mod. I messed with a 3190 K&N and it is a horrible fit, ya really have to cut and mangle it to get it in there. The Uni molds around the frame better and doesn't need as much mangling to fit. It still takes a few cuss words but not as many as the K&N. It is my belief that the UNI filters better as well. You will of course hafta rejet.

    I don't think it improves the look of the bike...
