Hey All I was cleaning my filter getting ready to install my new Filter-skins, provided by fred of coarse, (at a price. lol...not bad $18. for 3) and being a cross between MacGyver, and Tim Taylor, I was thinking, when on a trip and the filter being soaked in oil, If realy dirty, just rinse in warm water (in the motel sink. shhh.) from the inside out so you don't push the dirt in, removing most of the dirt and since warm water alone will not wash away the oil, you will have a mostly clean filter with some oil still in it to get you home.[img]https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2 ... roae7A--~E[/img]   For a LOT faster drying time, After squezing out extra water wrap in a towel and stand on it, changing to dry stop a couple times, the towel will absorb almost all the water. YA, like rinsing out socks and underwear.   Mark (W. Mi.)

One could pack a 1 quart freezer-type ziploc bag with a few heavy paper towels stuffed inside.

Need to clean and reoil a filter? A travel-sized shampoo bottle of dish detergent (Dawn?)  would hold plenty to clean out the filter.

Blot it thoroughly with the paper towels and allow to air dry overnight. In the morning, pour a small amount of engine oil (spare oil or from a second shampoo bottle) inside the plastic bag and insert the foam filter. Close the bag and knead the oil into the filter. Done? put the paper towels in the empty bag and dispose of in the trash.

Reinstall the filter & ride. =)

Pre-oil the filter skins (I use No-Toil) and bring all three of them along in a zip-loc bag on your trip. They don't take much room at all. Change them out as needed to keep the main filter clean. -- Kevin Powers White Bear Lake, MN

It's easier just to pack a couple of fresh, pre-oiled skins in a ziploc bag. When the old one is dirty, just toss it, like you do your underwear.

My thoughts were when in Kinda in a pinch. It's getting dirty you've been on the road a week (1500 miles+) and didn't carry a lot with you and with a simple rinse, the filter is alot cleaner. (untill home then do it right.) [b]From:[/b] Jeff Saline [b]To:[/b] nomad59@...

SNIP all following Notice: names removed. cough. Soap-box: ON Sir- I must strongly disagree with this entire premise. I am not a wacked-out Greenie--but this idea is just wrong. If you want to do motorcycle maintenance in your motel room, have the grace to use something fully biodegradable; like NoToil (Honda and Kawi branded bio-degradable are both manufactured by NoToil) Although it was suggested that the oil would not come out of the filter with just hot water--enough comes out that it is still a mess. Many of the mom and pop motels are on a septic tank for grey water exhaust; septic tanks are not meant to digest carbon based petroleum. No-Toil cleaning system is septic tank friendly, lawn friendly, etc. There are reasons why motorcyclist are not 'welcome' in some places, and such conduct when noticed by owners, is one reason not to make the next motorcyclist welcome. Often, if you ask, you will be given a place to do 'spot' maintenance and even free rags if you ask vs using the motel towel for motorcycle maintenance, deeming that item no longer usable for guests. Soap box rant: OFF revmaaatin.

Ya I do the zip lock thing too but have found that motor oil can be removed by pouring in a hotel botel of shampoo and about the same amount of water. Mash it around for a while then go to dinner or something. Mash it around a bit more and rinse it out in the bag real well. I can do this because I have been blessed with the ability to use a bar of soap for my hair these daysnd thus do not need the shampoo, rats! I only do this if I have been on the road for a while so I generaly need to top up the oil by that point anyways, meaning I have a little left over to re-oil it. I do that with the stock air filter. When I am not on the road I run a UNI filter and use the foam filter oil on it since it works better. It just sukz on the road since you need the cleaner to get it out of the filter. When I am on the road traveling I am not doing as much off road so the motor oil on the stock filter is plenty good enough.

revmaaatin, you must be one of those Hotelier loving, Liberal, Pinko tree hugger, commies! How dare you suggest that it is not ok to simply put the filter under the hotel pillow and sleep on it so it and the matress soak up all that old oil and dirt. The raw nerve of thinking it is not ok to change your oil by pulling the plug over a storm drain near a wild bird preserve. It is hard to imagine the unmitigated gall it would take to suggest that it is in some way inapropriate to clean you chain with WD40 by simply parking the bike behind someone's rose garden and hosing it down. You would probably suggest putting an old pizza box down to catch the black goo or something. We will hear no more of your save the Dolphins rubish. Take it back and never dare to soil this list with you green dribble again. Actually, thank you for having the stones to step up and remind us that we should consider greener options to what we are doing! It was just more fun saying the other stuff. Chris Eckert a.k.a.
