When you have a motorcycle or dirt bike, it is always important that you do everything that you can to take care of it. Proper maintenance is the key to ensuring that you will always have a good ride ahead of you. One of the things that you want to always be sure that you do to take care of your motorcycle or dirt bike is self-servicing of the air filter. There are several simple steps that you can do yourself to take care of this.
If you are looking to clean your air filter, you want to be sure that you start off by cleaning your bike and then removing both the air filter as well as the air box from the bike. Cleaning both of them is the only way to go. A high-pressure wash and a good soap such as the concentrated cleaning soaps offered by Raceway should do the trick with the air box, but with the filter you are probably going to want to check into using a solvent. A good solvent is the perfect thing to remove some of the gunk that can get stuck in the foam.
You are now ready for the next step and that is washing the filter. You can do this by simply using a good soap and some hot water. Once you have gotten all of the extra dirt out of the filter, you can then hang it up to dry thoroughly before the next step which is oiling the filter. When you are oiling the filter, you want to be sure to pour the oil in the filter from the inside out; always making sure it is completely covered. Now you are ready to reinstall the filter and you are ready to hit the tracks and trails again!
