air filter oil question............
Someone asked how often to clean the air filter, and I have a follow-up to that. My question "Is it essential to add oil to the air filter when cleaning or replacing it." I recently put on a new air filter and did not bother to oil it. How big of a deal is that? BTW, I do not ride on dirt roads, off-road, or areas of high dust, for the most part, I use my KLR to commute and highways. So, do I really need to oil the air filter?

Oil the foam only if you want it to stop the dirt/dust.

air filter oil question............
1st time I oiled a filter, I did not wring enough oil out and noticed oil
draining from the little one way drain at the bottom of the airbox. Big
panic until I figured out what was up! Against some advice, I roll my filter
up in paper towels and knead it to remove just as much oil as I can. I'm
thinking a filter sock might be a good addition next cleaning.

air filter oil question............
Speaking of air filter oil, I have some extra No Toil filter care kits if anyone's interested. These are the kits with 1 bottle of cleaning solution, 1 can of aerosol filter oil, and a tube of rim grease. These retail at $18 per kit. The labels say they are safe for all filter brands, including K&N. The No Toil brand is great, you can wash the filter in your home clothes washing machine - it's bio degradable. Let me know if You're interested....

de tour 2006 ** day one **
--------- Forwarded message ----------
Listers, OK Heads,
Travel time is actual time moving. Distance is according to the GPS.
Travel time: 4 hrs 30 mins Distance: 111 miles
We get a late start as I'm still trying to catch up from school, working
with Matt on his bike, working with me on my bike, tech day and the
aftermath of tech day. I start figuring out what I'm really gonna take
about 7 or 8 the night before. We finally get going around 9:30.
Steve's been ready to go since 5:30. I'm leading as this is "my"
country. We head out Nemo Road and then take Bogus Jim road. This is my
first time using the GPS to navigate a route and although I think I know
where I'm going the GPS says to turn left. We do. I'm lost. Twenty
minutes later we're about three miles south of where I thought I wanted
to be. But it works out well. We are heading into the Black Hills and
on our trip. We connect with the planned route after maybe a mile.
Actually less pavement than originally planned. The roads are pretty
good and these are some of the same roads Steve first rode two summers
ago when getting ready for the GDR. We're heading toward Rochford and
the Moonshine Gulch Saloon. We take a few more interesting turns and I
think I'm starting to get the hang of navigating with the GPS. We find
another interesting section near Slate Creek and I think it's a closed
road but no notice from the side we're on. We figure that out after
taking it. Mostly this is logging roads with a bit of two track thrown
in now and then. Some of the route is also better county roads that are
graded somewhat regularly. Heading to Bloody Gulch I miss the turn with
the GPS. It looks like some ATVs are heading up that way. We continue
and after a mile or more take another road to connect with Bloody Gulch.
This is now two track and has some interesting sections up hill. After
the first 300 yards we're both real glad Steve has 14/45 and I have 14/46
gearing. Stock gears would make some of this tough. Well, we asked for
it so here it comes. Now we start hitting gates too. Get off the bike,
open the gate, get on the bike, ride through, get off the bike, close the
gate, get on the bike and continue. Next gate, same procedure. As we
get to Rochford it seems like it's about to rain. I get the liners for
my First Gear Kilimanjaro air jacket and air overpants out of the
saddlebags. We order lunch and talk a bit with some riders visiting from
Michigan I think. The saloon is pretty neat and after a nice break off
we go. Ten minutes later it's raining on us and we're headed to the high
country around 6,800 feet or so. I put on my industrial over gloves to
keep my hands dry. On go the grip heaters. High is too high. Low is ok
with the rain and 42 degree temps. We ride on and finally the rain
passes, or we've passed through the rain. I turn right after Moon and we
go maybe a mile or so and we get to a nice overlook and burn area. We
scout the trail ahead and this is a serious "we're not gonna ride this
trail" situation. It probably hasn't been used in years and we can't
even tell where the trail is after maybe 200 yards. We turn around and
see another road to the right. It's going in the correct direction. We
decide to try it. It's down hill and two track. After maybe 1/4 mile we
meet two guys on ATVs. I ask if we can get to Newcastle this way. The
elder of the two looks at me and says to just go ahead. The other guy
adds some directions for when we get to the road. I suppose these were
the guys that owned the land. : ) We ride another 1/4 or 3/8 mile and
get to the DESCENT. Loose rock on top of rock. And pretty steep. If we
go down I don't think we're getting back up. So off we go. A bit of
slip sliding and a few silent prayers and I'm at the bottom. Steve comes
down no problem. We continue and take a few pictures of the meadow with
Steve riding across it. We finally come to a gate with a private land
sign on the other side. We go through and onto the county road. A few
misturns and Steve has us in Newcastle. We decide a motel is fine for
tonight as Steve's not feeling 100 percent and we're both a bit cold.
Steve asks a Wyoming Highway Patrolman for suggestions on where to stay
while I'm getting fuel and it works out well. We get to talk with the
guy from California in the room next to ours. He's finishing a week of
prairie dog shooting. He had some interesting comments about distance
and accuracy. We take a walk to Pizza Hut for the buffet and then sit in
the parking lot and watch the world go by. I sleep well.
