Changing My Air Filter - 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 900

[@daveklasvegas4622]

It made a big difference in performance when I changed mine.

[@ManCalledHorse]

I'm totally noticing that too. 🙂

Good thing since we can’t go and ride our bikes great video 👍

[@ManCalledHorse]

Lol, I know what you mean. I can only clean my bike so much. I keep taking my bike "to the store" to get it out of the garage and to good use. 🤣👊

[@mzbrayzn7404]

The trick is to have an extra filter. I change out and clean the filter every month, so I always have a clean dry filter ready to go.

[@ManCalledHorse]

Sounds great!

You must ride a lot

[@bflatbrass]

Thank you for this! Really like that torque wrench - what's the brand/model (if you remember)? Thanks!!

[@ManCalledHorse]

Thank you Charles for the feedback! The torque wrench I use in this video is the Husky in/lb. with 1/4-inch drive. Here's the link to it on my Amazon account, enjoy! :) amzn.to/2WL4DFD

that cleaner is for K&N cleanable filters.

Thanks well done

[@ManCalledHorse]

Thank you! 🙏👊

[@uomo3047]

Have any of you changed the factory air filter for a K&N one and if it really improves the fuel consumption and power of the motorcycle?... Thanks for answering.

[@ManCalledHorse]

I noticed a difference between the overall running and reduction of fuel consumption (but it could be just because I had a dirty filter and cleaned it). Maybe someone else can chime in?

How many miles where on your Vulcan when you did the Clutch ??

[@ManCalledHorse]

It was at about 7,400 miles (which for normal riding is very, very quick). But I do a lot of stuff which requires being in the friction zone a lot, so the OEM cork and rubber clutch plates wore out fast. When I drained the oil, it smelled like campfire. So, I replaced them with EBC kevlar discs. Which are designed for more harder, aggressive riding at higher temps.

@@ManCalledHorse Thanks a lot !

[@craigroberts6439]

Just set it out in the sun for an hour or so…..then spray on oil is a lot faster.

[@gerard948]

Put a K&N air- filter in much better and also cleaning again.

[@barrylastname8793]

Not suppose to oil those. Suppose to be dry.. just see that grabing more gunk faster.

[@ManCalledHorse]

It's the filter recharge fluid that comes with the kit. First remove the old stuff then replenish. I didn't notice any difference from a new, new filter and doing this. But I get what your saying 🙂

[@barrylastname8793]

@@ManCalledHorse yeah i dont know much about it, just figured oil and filter doesnt sound good. Waiting for my new filter cause i tried cleaning it and endednup ripping a hole on the last leaf. Wich sucks, but also waiting for new tires as well. Found out they are 12 years old. Just got my first bike 2 weeks ago. Vulcan 900. Love it!

[@ronaldireland]

They are a dry paper element ,should not be oiled.

No exact sizes for the fasteners were given, incomplete guidance.

[@ManCalledHorse]

What do you mean? Bolt, wrench bit or part sizes? Please specify, thanks!
