Hey guys, I just cleaned my filter with the K&N cleaner. I keep reading everywhere that I'm supposed to "oil" the filter before putting it back on my bike.
My questions is, what kind of oil are they talking about ?.. and where do I oil it?.. thanks guys.

I use K&N filter oil which I got at DennisKirk.com. The instructions are on the bottle. Essentially, you spray each pleat once and let it sit about 10 minutes. The any white areas are sprayed again. Then put it on.

RE: Stage 1 air filter
Just cleaned/oiled mine with the $10 K&N Autozone kit. 10,000 miles and barely dirty.
Wow - they make an awesome filter - soak it with water and it stays 100% intact. QUALITY thru and thru.
ThatStage 1 HD white/blue air filter is a POS!!!
K&N is literally indestructable - Harley's is made ofTOILET PAPER.

RE: Stage 1 air filter
Thanks to everybody who replied to my post. After cleaning it, the lettering showed up and it says K&N and "Caution Oil before use"... so, I guess I'm off to Autozone to find that oil kit... now.. how do I oil this thing?... does anybody know?.. Do I cover the whole thing in oil or just the black edge that touches the metal plate?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
