    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

normally i use a K&N oil and cleaning kit on my Gs1085s filters never been a problem till now
this time i cleaned them in parrafin then let them dry and used castrol air filter oil on them .
it run ever so rich since i did this.
 
They need to be oiled. They don't filter that well as is, but without oil they really won't filter.
 
I have a K&N in my stock airbox, made sure it is sealed well but the bike runs a wee tad lean, I have gone through the mixture adj but still. I have thought about trying an OE filter to judge the difference.
 
Errrr... what's wrong with using the K&N cleaning kit and oil?

You can get the kit with a bottle of cleaner and a bottle of K&N oil at any auto parts store. Other kinds of oil (or no oil) won't work nearly as well. As you've found, other brands of filter oil don't work right on K&N filters.
