tony Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Use a good filter spray like PJ1. Spray it onto a clean filter, work it in and it will go tacky, this will stop fine dust and to some extent water passing through the filter.

firstgear Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Like Tony stated use a good air cleaner oil designed for foam filters. Some oils are designed for paper,cotton elements. Some other tips are to spray the oil into the inside of the filter and to work it in. Inside meaning the side that is open to outside air. I also run a very light coat of grease around the edge of my filters to help the filter stay in place better during assembly and to create a better seal to keep dust out. Something that is done alot on enduro bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieboy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I picked up 2 large cans of Silkolene filter spray oil on E-bay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I should have mentioned on my last post not to over do the oil. You just want enough to help filter the dust out and not risk dripping into intake causing a rich ( oil to fuel) condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motojojo Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Oil filter spray is a must and the filter cleaner, it dissolves that sticky oil real good. And Nigel is right have 2 filters and your ready for the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
