Cleaning k & n air filter

#1 Post by philgro64 » Wed Jul 10, 2013 1:03 pm

Chaps/chapesses

Doing a wee service on the bike and dont have the k and n filter oil to re oil the filter. Will any other oils suffice? WD40, 3 in one, Hairspray(the wifes not mine honestly)?

I used the cleaner and oil from another manufacturer...think it was 'green' or something?

Only use an oil designed for filters.
