Never owned a k&n filter until now.always had foam filters. I didnt get any care instructions with it so how do you take care of it when it gets dirty. please dont say,throw it away and buy another one$

 

Yea you throw it away & get another one, everyone knows that!!

















Just kidding!!! LMAO!!!

Go to an automotive parts store & get a K&N Recharger kit, It's about $10 & has enough of the cleaner & oil for several cleanings. My Yamaha dealer carries them too.

Read the instructions & do not use compressed air!! It'll destroy the filter!!
Make sure all of the filter surfaces are oiled,it's easy to tell because of the red color of the oil.

 

had me going there for a moment moose! Thanks for the information everybody

 

I don't but why not foam filter oil? It seems like it would all be the same thing.

 

You will love your K&N. Not just because it will flow more air. It's a breeze to clean and far less mess.

 

The oil for a K&N is for gauze type filters. It is supposedly different oil than that made for foam filters.
