mill3345 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hi all, I am about to service my t/cat including changing the air filter. The replacement air filter seems dry but I am under the impression that it needs to be covered in oil. Does anyone have any advice on this? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mill3345 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks, the filter was from ebay, I carried out the service yesterday, woke up this morning with a puddle of oil under the bike! Thinking it was oil filter or sump plug leaking I whipped the cowling off again- no leak. Then the fuel tank came off again and on inspection of the air box found a puddle of oil in the bottom!! Filter now mopped up a bit and all seems ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
