Product Description

The K&N KA-1596 is a premium high-flow replacement air filter designed to upgrade the stock air filtration system of specific Kawasaki and Suzuki cruiser motorcycles. Constructed with multiple layers of woven cotton gauze, the pleated filter media provides significantly increased airflow while maintaining excellent filtration efficiency. The result is improved throttle response, enhanced horsepower and torque, and overall better engine performance compared to standard disposable paper filters.

KA-1596 installs easily - simply remove the OEM air filter and drop in the K&N unit. Because it's pre-oiled, washable, and reusable, you'll save money in the long run while reducing environmental waste from disposables. The custom-engineered base seal ensures a precise fit in the stock airbox, eliminating leaks and ensuring reliable performance ride after ride. This filter is ideal for riders seeking a durable, long-lasting upgrade that delivers both performance gains and lower maintenance for models like Vulcan 1500/1600, Boulevard M95, or Marauder VZ1600.
