How To: Clean and Oil your Air Filter - TransWorld MOTOcross

[@BalkanFamYT]

Great tutorial, you hit all the important points of the air filter maintenance process. Only thing I'd do different is use only dish soap to clean the filter instead of the pricey air filter cleaning products. I've tried a few different types out but haven't noticed any improvements.

[@destroyall24]

Mineral spirits work really well too to clean it

[@mxwojcikpl]

Dont use compressor , this is the best way to destorid air filter.

[@allencroutch3337]

sure okay because his filter looked destroyed, and he has 68k subs because he obviously knows what he is doing, and people sub to him because his techniques work for them so i think we are good to use a air compressor lol.

[@MasterOfGalaxyYoda]

Allen Croutch Ye and u just do what others say....From mechanic

[@brodyrichard263]

Wait....dont use air on a AIR filter??

[@Mike_Sigety]

Nice video, only thing i different is i would prefer to let the filter sit in the sun for an hour or so so the alcohol can evaporate. Any air filter oil i have used is diluted with alcohol so it has a thin viscosity and gets into all the filter pores. Once the alcohol evaporates, the oil gets very tacky. Putting the filter back in the bike and putting the seat or cover back on could cause the oil to drip off the filter into the EFI (new yamaha) or Carb and foul a plug and or not have enough oil on the filter to properly catch dirt. Ever see a puddle of oil on the floor from the airbox? this is why.

[@wirthtravis83]

this is all wrong. That bike wouldn't last 5 minutes in the dunes. After riding a bike in sand that filter is wasted, it takes so much time and effort to clean that filter and to do it right.

[@madmaxracing5788]

Travis Wirth it's not going in the dunes is it

[@brodyrichard263]

This is ken roczens mechanic im pretty sure he knows what's up

[@6kilo508]

can i use simple green to spray the air filter when cleaning it ?

[@jondoe4667]

I like the look of that rear fender and number plates better than my 2015

[@Murdo2468]

Can you use 2-stroke fuel mixture to oil your air filter

[@captainbatman100]

what filter cleaner can u use?

[@Offroadcircus]

the best way to clean it is actually by filling an ice cream pail half full of gas and then just dunking the filter in the bucket and work it around fr a bit. the filter will be clean in 15 seconds or less guarunteed

[@kananisA75]

I actually do that or spray some carb cleaner and air dry it.

[@jacobmiller624]

kananisA75 don't use carb cleaner it makes you filter fall apart and little pieces fall in the car or EFI i learned that the hard way

[@kananisA75]

Jacob Miller wow didn't know that thanks.

[@SchoolBoyMoto]

It's better if you use straight kerosene. It has the cleaning power of the gas, but it won't break down the filter!

[@MrMountain707]

+Offroad circus yea you can do that but it will slowly eat away at your filter

[@lacrossefan19ify]

Do you always have to buy new air filters like you can't re use the old one

[@192837465conconrad]

Bro do you watch the same video as me hahah smh

[@MrMountain707]

+jfkjncjdi icon you can reuse them, you didnt even watch the vid

[@Pascoes_Prado]

+jfkjncjdi icon you must buy a new filter everytime you go for a ride or everytime the simpsons is on tv . he was just showing you what you shouldnt do lol PS don't Breed

[@rayy1988ra]

+Octobergrey dont breed lol love it , yes no more idiots plz the world is full of them, if ur dumb plz spare us and dont breed lol

[@asher217ify]

what air filter is this? I have a 06 yz250 I just bought and I want to know what is the best air filter to get.

[@downpacktv3990]

+asher217ify twin air, its a good reliable brand

[@rayy1988ra]

it only says twin air right on the filter lol. that wasnt a dumb question at all.

[@kemckelv]

+BOMBER _FIVE true lol

[@EmEm805]

hey i got a question, for my 125 can i just take out my old air filter and then just put my new one in or do i have to do anything else PLZZZ HELLP!!

[@2wheels4life27]

Emerson Liebl u have to wash the new one with bum soap first then oil it with ky gel.

[@kingston6909]

Emerson Liebl little late bud.

[@Jawsman-pu5vg]

What kind of cleaner is he using

[@thamotoweasel6269]

do you have to use oil on the filter??

[@xXsniben87Xx]

Yes without the air filter oil dust particles won't get caught in the air filter and they can get into and harm your bike

[@samthedevil5707]

so if I get a new pitbike as soon as I get it will I have to put air filter oil in it

[@thamotoweasel6269]

yeah i would but you can ride it around the street for a minute before you do

[@snipez20]

I don t get it i change my oil in my crf 250 every 6ish hours but the manual says every 15 hrs or 6 races

[@memot2029]

Why did my yz250 pipe get really red after I did my oil change and drained the coolant??? Pls someone help me out ... Thank youuu

[@brandonbell2444]

Did you put coolant back in the bike?

[@downpacktv3990]

+Memo T did u refill it with coolant?? if not you shot your motor most likely

[@mikelyons7511]

It was the first time you saw it at night?

[@kings2727]

What effects can the oil have on you over time?

[@bobby3h]

Saving you engine from damage.

[@haegeland]

You get a huge budget by working hard and saving money :)

[@cameronthompson3685]

what soap do I use

[@rayy1988ra]

bum soap

[@hotpocket8624]

Irish spring bar soap

[@dannyboyrides4507]

Airsoft & More dove

[@TheBumcum]

you shouldnt really blow the filter from the outside as any dirt that may have been left over from cleaning, might get forced through the filter and might even enter your engine, blowing from the inside of the filter is always the better option

[@HorsepowerHouse]

Use contact cleaner to clean your air filter? That would take like the whole can... Use a bucket of kerosene or diesel. It does the job and lasts longer. DO NOT USE GASOLINE like many dorks do. This will shorten the life of your air filter BIGTIME.

[@bobby3h]

All destroy the foam cells.

[@oliver9719]

You need to do a, how to get a huge budget. I would love to get my bike looking as good as this one.

So I just cleaned my filter for the first time, I washed it twice with a filter cleaner and washed it out with water. It looks totally clean but when I touch it with my finger (I mean without gloves) I can feel that its still oily. Is that normal or what should I do?

You should let the cleaner sit for 10min but not too long so that it doesn't dry

I've just always used gas to clean the filter, let it dry, and oil it... hahahaha

If you are going to change oil every 5hrs, you have to drive the shit out of it, i change gearoil, and motoroil every 10 hrs. Oilfilters to.
