i believe that the K&N cleaning solvent is just a mild solvent, you can buy a gallon or so at a local napa store for alot cheaper than buying a cleaning kit.

i use greased lighting and a bucket of wather and some dawn dish detergent..

all in there and let it soak then spray it out

water and soap..in my sink.....just clean it well...then put the soak it with the K&N spray

thanks for the reply's, what kind of brand names should i look for.. like simple green or like dawn dish detergent?.. i just don't wanna mess it up, they are too expensive
thanks james
and if i used something like simple green could i just delute it with some water?

(i've never seen anything like greased lightning)

I would use soap and water. You don't really need to clean it after every time you ride, though, unless it is extremely dusty. Whatever you do, don't use a strong solvent without dilluting it cuz it very well could eat the paper over the months.

dawn liquid dish detergent with grease fighter and let her set in a bucket of water over night then rinse from the inside out this completly disolves all the old oil

409 works great

A K&N filter actually works better when slightly coated with dirt/dust.Soaking in the sink with any kind of dish washing liquid will do the trick always rinse from the inside out.

i recondmend using only the k&n filter oil.

it can be bought at any quad store, or even any speed shops or auto stores
