K&N Filter cleaning

[MatthewW14]

Hey,

I have a 2010 Nytro xtx with the K&N filter kit on it. It also has the K&N filters on the vent lines. Just wondering what people have used to clean them, both the intake filters and the vent line ones?

I looked at the K&N site but most of the cleaners seem to be for the foam filters unless I am missing something..

Thanks

This is what I use. http://www.amazon.com/99-5000-Aeros...&sr=8-1&keywords=k+&+n+air+filter+cleaner+kit. You might find a kit at your local auto parts store as well.

Here is a video for cleaning its for a jeep, but same idea as on Nytro.

Yep.
Same method I use on my carbed sport bike (4 pods).

One thing I do when re-oiling is to hold upside down with 2 fingers and spray downward, not getting oil inside the rubber end.
DON'T over tighten the screw clamp, filter has a tendency to pop off- just feeling it to being snug is fine.

Whats the benefits of the kn filter? Do you need exhaust ,other mods ect. Does the air box get removed to use the kn filters?
