    Non Flammable Cleaning Solvent for air cleaner element?

    According the the service manual for GS650G. The air cleaner element needs to be cleaned with Non Flammable Cleaning Solvent.

    Would some one please help to give me the name and place where I can buy this solven to clean my air cleaner element?

    If this question has been asked before, please kindly pointing me to that thread.

    Thanks all!

        It's stock air filter, so it is a foam filter.

          Dish soap, Formula 409, Mr. Clean, K&N Cleaner, etc.

          Just pick a soapy cleaner and clean away. Rinse thoroughly, squeeze dry, let it sit overnight to finish drying, then spray some light oil on it (K&N oil works great), stick it in the airbox and RIDE.

            Soap and water would be fine to clean the filter. After you clean it, squeeze out the excess water and let it dry. Then lightly oil the foam element.

              SIMPLE GREEN!!!! That's all you need! Don't forget to re-oil after it dries. Ray.
