BMC filter
 

Anyone ever clean your filter with something other thatn the K&N cleaning solution?

Brake Cleaner? Soap in the sink... What you using?

Brake cleaner? HAHA
I use the stuff from the K&N kit. It's not that expensive and it lasts a while.

use Kerosene... i hear it's awesome!

Brake cleaner, Blow Torch, sand Blaster... Oil of olay. What else ya found that YOU USE.

:lol:

I never used anything but the K&N stuff in my truck... and never got to wash my bikes...

I'd imagine ANY degreaser would be ok... but i'd use dish soap if I wasn't gonna use the K&N cleaner :2cents:


is yours Foam or cotton? my K&N is cotton so I don't have to worry about certain cleaners eating away at it.

simple green

I use the BMC cleaning kit and oil.

Thank You GasMan! At least one person got my point.

I take it you have used this correct? I think the BMC race that I have is foam not cotton and I was thinking about using a product similar to simple green.

After 2 years it deserves a cleaning as it has some discoloration.

the army's clean all

good shit

the bmc race on my gsxr is cotton-just a heads up

Me too! Plus you have to oil it anyway,you may as well pony up for the kit IMHO. BTW are you sure you're not looking at the "pre-filter",just asking...

I have not. I don't have a BMC and am more with the logic below.

Agreed, buy the K&N kit at any auto parts store. Cleaner and oil...

Well Cotton it maybe... It has been a while since I bought it and I Only looked at it for a second last weekend. I have TONS of the K&N oil so no need for that and I just thought maybe be by some crazy chance someone here would have a little input on how they clean theres other than the K&N magic fluid which is not avalible at any store near me... Ok Off to the Suzuki Dealer on my lunch Hour Tomorrow at work for what maybe just dish soap. :dthumb:

dish soap and water and a bucket should do it is what i hear-but i havent had to clean mine yet, or any filter actually. i usually just replace the filter in my car, and i ran stacks/no filter on my other bike.

i cant give u advice that i dont know from experience to be true, thats not my style. thats why i didnt say this earlier.

I didn't know you already had the oil. I'd try Dawn or Simple Green then. I don't think any detergent will hurt it but I'd imagine you want to use something that is somewhat mild and rinses out easily.

yeah something with a neutral ph.

Yeah like Secret Body wash...and while you're at it get a loofah or one of those squishy things....


Hey,maybe Old Spice has a Swagger body wash out...:whistle:

:whistle:...

:bowtome:

Spray with simple green and into dishwasher rinse cycle

Damm son, You've been hittin the Swagger pretty Hard!

Lots of filters, or is that just for the "Ladies"?

Tigger can I borrow one of your Loofa's?

Ok so just so everyone knows this clearly, Any Mild detergent soap is recommended when cleaning a cotton type filter. From K&N themselves.

Mine turned out great with simple green.

That would make me... um.... what is it.... RIGHT!

U Da MAN!

So when do we start selling your gas on the black market to fellow riders at a large discount?

Right after I get any type of discount!

Hey,I agreed with you buddy!

I know... SCARY isn't it!
