Hurricane cleaning

Post by **simon** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 1:25 pm

Think I should probably clean my hurricane out after the amount of dust on TT so was gonna do it tonight before KH tomorrow. Will the K&N cleaner and oil do if I can get it from halfrauds or should I wait and order the stuff from EliseShop?

I use the K&N the filter oil is red but I don't see what difference there is it's still a cotton filter.

I have just done both of mine, not sure what is recommended, but I scrub mine well in a bowl of soapy water until it is a clear green colour again and you can see through the mesh from the inside, dry it, then a single spray with "Green" air filter oil, but any purpose brand one would do.

I use the two part Green cleaner £9.99 from Premier Motor Factor. Having to clean it every two thousand miles.

K&N cleaner kit (cleaner stuff and recharge oil) from Halfrauds. Lasts many cleans. Job's a good-un!

Cheers.

Hard at work here

As Tut, good soak in soapy water and a bit of a scrub with an old tooth brush to shift the crud

Enough about your 'helmet', what about the filter?
