johnnyboxer Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Popped a new Filter (Genuine Honda Pre-Oiled ) and went to wash out the same dirty Filter that came out, in proper filter solvent this afternoon and after rinsing it out, i was suprised to see the foam starting to break up and disintegrate The dirty Genuine Honda filter can only be a year old and on further investigation, I could push my fingers straight through the foam, it was so bad So straight in the dustbin Are there any more durable Air Filters, then the Genuine Honda ones, for the 4RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I use genuine Honda filters, but clean them with fairy liquid and water solution, haven't had any probs with mine. I have got a 4RT filter and alternate between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yep use washing up liquid and water (Can't afford Fairy) and no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yep use washing up liquid and water (Can't afford Fairy) and no problems Yeh but, "it's kind to your hands" and will do 49 air filter washes more than a cheaper brand ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboxer Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Funny, never used Fairy and warm water I've always used Putoline Air Filter cleaner for years, in an ice cream tub - squeeze it out and rinse clean under the outside tap I was cleaning out the filters from my 2 enduro bikes also, no problems with them, one was a Australian Unifilter and the other a TwinAir - both were more durable with better foam structure Maybe it was just a rogue filter, the new Honda one seemed fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
