Airbox Question
Hi guys,
Long story short i came off bike was running on its side a while and oil in the filter airbox and everywhere. Cleaned the airbox and replaced the filter, but what is the little mini filter thing that attaches to airbox because i couldn't really clean this (well forgot to) and have put bike back together now. Does it need cleaning and what is it ??? |

Re: Airbox Question
That was a reply when i asked some thing similar and is the best answer i can think of, but obviously yours has been on its side and leaked all into there so just give it a clean up and put it back in

Re: Airbox Question
depends which version you have but on a curvy the mini-filter thing is designed to try and condense the oil mist from the engine breathers and drip it back down into the engine again. It's not a filter as such and wouldn't need cleaning. I don't know about the pointy that may have something extra.
Under normal use there will be oil in the air box btw. Druid

Re: Airbox Question
Thanks guys
The mini filter thing does look saturated in oil and I thought it must be natural to have it in there. The air filter I definatley had to replace cause that looked like in had been dunked in a vat of treacle! Up and running again now just need a indicator bulb (went and spent £4 on wrong sort) and left fairing but that can wait till one comes up i guess, installation tape hiding the splits at the moment |
