[QUOTE="TONY78, post: 161092, member: 24774"] [b]filter care[/b] I found the best way to clean it is to first dip it in either petrol or turps to break down the old filter oil and grime. Then rinse with warm soapy water and let it dry thoroughly. Remember to re-oil the filter with a good quality filter oil, i prefer to use "Finer Filter" oil. Massage the oil in with your hands and then remove any excess by squeezing or patting it dry with a cloth. Remember to apply a thin film of oil/grease on the surface of the inner filter skeleton where it meets the foam to ensure a good seal. I've even heard of some manufacturers filter oils intentionally hardening up on the surface of the filter, trapping dirt and then cracking (during the process of riding and jumping) allowing the hardened clog to fall to the bottom of the box and leaving a clean area of the filter exposed. I know it sounds pretty cooky, but it seems good in theory. [/QUOTE]
