    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm in the process of putting things back to rights after a petcock failure and i want to give the air filter a once over (not sure when it was last done) so, the maual talks about a solvent cleaner, then soap & water....
then either a specific oil for air filters or straight engine oil....with the preference being the specialized oil...

i should also say that the air filter is in good shape..

Questions
- what type of solvent should i use/is it even neccessary
- any recommendation on oil to use/is the specialized stuff worth it...
- if i do need the special oil do i have to go to the dealer or can i get if from the farm & fleet type stores....

Thanks a bunch for any help

For FOAM type filters, All I do with mine is fill the sink, squirt some Dawn on it, clean it up, let it dry (helps to sling it around to get all the excess rinse water out) and pour some engine oil on it, squeeze it in my hands until it is soaked and the excess squeezed off, reinstall and ride.
 
Throw the oil and the filter into a plastic bag, makes things go a bit better.

I am currently using PJ1 filter oil. I have had a couple of people recommend the PJ1 filter solvent for cleaning so I picked up a can. However, I haven't tried it out yet.
