Bansh-eman Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 use some dawn dish soap to clean the outer wears ... dont put any oil on the outers... just run the filter oiled and put your outer on it dry... riding that thing in the snd with oil is going to fill it up FAST...

ClimbAnyHill Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You don't want any moisture on that outerwear, it'll clog, you'll have a hard time getting air thru it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baddsheee Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I use the UNI oil, comes in a spray can. For K&N oils and cleaners you pay for the name. Simple Green to clean my foam filer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 ok ill try to grab some uni oil, i didnt know if people used something else, (people get bord and try somethings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 ive tried various oils from botique uni/k&n oiuls to atf and motor oil. the best thing i have found is bar and chain oil for a chainsaw. its a sticky tacky oil that clings really well. seems to work as good as anything else, and its many times cheaper than buying a little bottle of real filter oil.

tyguy Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 thats what i was looking for,,, someone that tried alot of things,,,,ill try the bar oil once, everywhere around here has to order the spray of any kind ,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animalman294 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Chain and bar oil, I've never heard of using that. I know that K&N's are supposed to last forever compared to other filter's, and I think that has to do with the oil used on their filter's. So, I am also wondering if using other oils would ruin the filter faster, or not work as efficiently..........? :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghott Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 What are the rest of you guys using as far as foam filter oil? I'm currently using Spectro SX Super Tacky Foam Filter Oil...Its a pain to clean, but it seems to do a great job of stopping crap from getting into the intake.

Washburn Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I use the Bel Ray foam filter oil on mine. It is the tackyest stuff by far. It collects dirt better than any spray shit thats FOR SURE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 alright thanks ill have to try it,, where did you get yours at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washburn Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 alright thanks ill have to try it,, where did you get yours at? I get mine from Cody. Buchananracing.com will be up soon and I think he will sell that on his site also. You can get it from anywhere though dealership rockymountainatv.com should have some. I get it cheaper but even if its like 10 bucks a bottle its worth it. Get on AIM dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansh88 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Not sure what the tpoic started has for a filter but, If you have a K&N, USE K&N PRODUCT. The outerware gets no oil and should stay dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
