charliechitlins Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Get actual air filter oil. It really does work best. I change oil every 4 rides. Probably overkill, but I use cheap oil so I don't feel bad about dumping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdn280 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Don't bathe, cover and lightly squish the filter to distribute it without having it dripping wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobster Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 and don't overoil it as not only is it wasteful, in my experience, it can make the bike run rich (though I have to add that was a ty250). In fact to avoid this potential problem I use an aerosol foam oil filter (PJ1) rather than the liquid method. Of course you must always clean the filter properly (again PJ1 of course) & let it dry properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
