Pls identify my air filter (k3)
I was replacing my air filter for a standard paper job but, on taking out the old one, I found it to be a flat sponge, mounted 'full-frame' inside a flexible 'rubber' frame. Looks like the frame creates an air-tight seal when the air box is closed. Obviously it's not OEM so what is it? And can/should I swap it out for the new paper one?
Salient bike specs are: secondhand K3; Fuel exhaust can with baffles; don't know if its been re-mapped; MPG 55 (urban), 65 (long runs). |

Re: Pls identify my air filter (k3)
It's looks like your photo and the sponge is a uniform grey. If it's a Pipercross one then I can clean and re-use. Anyone know the best way to clean it?

Any chance you can upload a picture of it, or google something that it looks most like? |

I'm pretty sure it's the Pipercross, or one that's identical to it. I'll be getting some cleaning fluid and dirt retention fluid.
