I was cleaning my air filter and say these little black dirt specs in the foam. I tried my best to get them out but there is still some in there. How do I get them out or will they get in my engine? Should I just go ahead and oil it? Thanks!
How are you washing it? I like to wash mine in kerosene, but soapy water will do, then I blow it off with a compressor and let it air dry for a few hours. If you cant get everything out with that method then it may be time for a new air filter.
Yeah, I am thinking about a new filter because there is a very small rip in mine. I use kerosine and the wash it in soapy water. i them spray it off. I don't have an air compressor so I can't do that. The little specs are inside the foam and won't come out. Thanks for your help!
Well, it is a 2 layer filter and the hole is not even big enough for a tooth pick to go through. The bottom layer is fine with no holes. I was going to use this filter for maybe 2-3 more rides and then get a new one. Do you think this is safe or should I not ride it? Sorry for all of the questions but I am really just getting into dirtbiking. Thanks!
