gizza5 Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Wash it in soapy water and let it dry and re-fit, done that for 2 1/2 years with no problems Never oiled the filter; have heard of problems starting when the filter has been oiled!

Surprized a bit here, as you must be in a purely wet(no dust) environment! The fine summer dust here would saw a piston set in half! The oil is your "catch" for the finer particles!

jimmyl Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Fresh oiled filter every time out. I always buy a spare filter so have one in the bike and a clean one ready to go in. Use spray on filter oil (putoline at present ) and wash out with washing up liquid. With 4RT and a spray filter oil it seems to confuse air sensor and bike is hard to start initially for first few hours as solvent must fill air box. Once started then never an issue. I have started to get into routine of fitting filter to the mesh as soon as I go into the garage for a fettle. Leave on the bench to breath then put in the air box last thing. Seems better that way.
