Air filter oil
My local motercycle shop only had k&n air filter oil..
The guy there said it should be ok on the moose filter, but I wanted to check with you guys first. Don't want to ruin a brand new filter.. |

Make sure the K&N filter oil doesn't contain alcohol. Alcohol will attack, and eventually destroy the glue seams on foam air filters.

I really like Maxima Fab1 filter spray. It's easy to see because it's blue, and it sticks like cobwebs.
I think I'd return the K&N stuff.

Well I'm to impatient.. Lol there are no other bike shops around me and I can't wait a week to order something else. Just got the pro circuit exhaust on and I'm dying to see how it with run with a fresh air filter. Guess we will see how it goes...
Thanks for the advice, Spud I looked up the contents of the oil online and from what I can tell (my nomenclature isn't that great) it does't contain alcohol.. Though I may by the end of the night lmao |

I like using the Belray Foam Air Filter Oil on my Zongshen air filters, because they are flat.

The No-Toil Evolution oil is much easier to distribute into the foam, and is exponentially easier to clean than regular, air filter oil. ![]() http://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/...Air-Filter-Oil ![]()

I agree. I also think the cylinder wall and piston is better protected.

If you have a flat, foam air filter, such as the one employed by my Zongshen 200GY-2, you can't beat the tackiness, price, or effectiveness of the Belray Foam Air Filter Oil.
