Just wondering what's the best way to clean my K&N filters (HS2 type ) and what oil to use if any after cleaning?
What has worked successfully for people ?
Cheers

Re: K&N Filter Cleaning?
You do know they do a cleaning kit for the K+N the foam one. If I didnt have one I would wash it out with warm soapy water, rinse it and after its dry spray it with a light oil . But thats just me 
ALL YOU NEED IS POWER AND LOADS OF IT!!!

Re: K&N Filter Cleaning?
that's exactly what i used to do when i had one... warm soapy, dry and oil. I found wd40 too light, i ended making my own by diluting engine oil with paraffin...CLUBMANGT wrote:You do know they do a cleaning kit for the K+N the foam one.

Cheers Keith , said filters currently drying on the rad . Kit I required good enough for a good few services so well worth the money . Thanks for advice.
Re: K&N Filter Cleaning?
can buy kits in motorcross shops dirt cheap and will last you years. same job as k&n kit but much cheaper and the oil is much better at catching dirt and stopping water
