Helllo all,
Im having problems with the air filter oil im using.... im using K&N filter oil on my stock air filter, on my cr80, and the oil keeps dripping off. Ive got to reapply the oil every time i want to ride the bike since all the oil drips off the filter. Is there something im doing wrong? Is there a different oil out there that is more sticky so that it'll stay on the air filter better?

thanks :ride:

assuming that you are using the K&N filter oil for foam filters you don't need to have so much oil on the filter that it is dripping off. spray it on, work it in and let it dry.
If you're using so much that it's continually dripping off the filter you are probably overdoing it.

Also, don't twist or wring out the excess....squeeze only. If you do any more than squeeze you will end up ripping the filters apart.
