Default ??? Ref: Cleaning dry element air filter...

Hey all,

I've got that Screamin Eagle air cleaner with the round dry element air filter. Just got it and like it but close to having to clean/service it. I was told it can be cleaned and reused at least a few times. Is this true? If so how best do I clean it? How many times can I re-use it?

Thanks!

Tis true. Clean it by...
[ol][*]Remove it.[*]Tap it lightly against something like the sidewalk, large stone, wall, etc to remove large debris[*]Use a cleaner like the K&N air filter cleaner solution...follow their instructions.[*]After letting it work in a little, rinse with water from the inside out.[*]Let AIR DRY...do not use an air compressor.[*]Put 'er back on.[/ol]Not sure how many times it can be reused...should be good for 5+ years I'd think.

MtnLvr,

Thanks alot, sounds logical - I've had K&N filters for a long time. This is the sameminus the "Oiling" part is all I guess.

I like this filter cuz you can clean/service it on aroad-trip practically - just take a couple hour break while it dries in the sun and you're back in the race!
