Air filter ?

Post by Ashy »

Just bought a new foam air filter ( http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-ZXR7 ... OC:AU:3160 ) do I install it dry or oil it?

What he said ^^^

You can get spray on filter oil. It's easier and cleaner to apply that squishing normal filter oil through it.

If you ride on the dirt and not out for HP ,oil it !! If you treat your bike as a full track style of bike Then DO not oil it as it will make less HP than standed air filters !! Each to there own on this subject .. :roll:
