stock airfilter-cleaning

[400exrider26]

I have a 04 400 ex. I dont have many mods and I dont want to rejet just for an aftermarket airfilter until I get a pipe, so for now I am sticking with the stock airfilter... What do u guys use to clean it and to oil it? I just want some opinions on what to use and mabe good procedures for a STOCK airfilter. thanks

its not hard to re jet. just look at the float bowl on the carb it has a big nut with a built in washer on the very bottom and take MAYBE a 1/4 socket and twist it off, make sure not to over-tighten but enuff that it wont wiggle off. as for air filter oil its all preference but i use no-toil for all filters even my uni. mostly for convinence

say if you go with a k&n filter you dont need to rejet unless you take off the airbox lid. i would say just go out and get a k&n:D

soapy water and some oil for afterwards. sorry but to rejet the cap is 17mm and the jet is 6mm, very easy to do:cool:

Make sure you use oil formulated for foam type airfilters.

when you clean the filter with whatever how much/hard do u wring it out or squeeze it out? i want to make sure i dont ripp the airfilter.

[jak1389]

your not supposed to wring it out or anythign. just let it air dry. but u can give it a good shake:blah:

[400exrider26]

the oil i have to squeeze out the extra right?

Your manual should have a a couple pages on just cleaning ur air filter. take a look.
