wow, you guys are serious about your filtering!

A simple phone call to APE will answer the question about oiling.

I called APE and they said the filters definitely need to be oiled. I forgot to ask them about cleaning but I assume it must be necessary if you oil them. If you over-oil them and they're a bit restrictive, will that work itself out in a few days or do you need to clean them to get some oil out?

If you over oil them they won't flow so well... you need to clean & do it again in my experience, it doesn't really work it's way out.

 

[blowerbike]

no filter "definitely " needs oiled.
i'm curious about this answer.
even K&N's don't definitely have to be oiled.

 

[1948man]

Thanks. I cranked it briefly and it sounded a little different but ran good. I didn't have time to test ride it. Hopefully, it's not over-oiled. I rode it a couple of days ago with the Apes un-oiled. Maybe it was really flowing free then and sounded different.

 

[1948man]

I just spoke with the guy who answered the phone. I'm not sure if he is an authority on the subject but he had a strong opinion and felt sure about it. He claimed it would only filter at about 70-75% without oil and needed oil to trap a little dirt to filter better.

I am going to have to start taking my camera to work. I see a guy in the morning, pedaling his bike to who knows where.
Lots of thingies and doo-dads on it, including a pinwheel on the handlebars.

Doesn't sound like Mississippi, you must be on a different job now.

You can probably stuff them with some paper towels and wrap the outside with more to wick away some of the oil.

 

[1948man]

That's worth a try, thanks.

No, still here in Meridian.

Will move to another location, but will not be leaving Mississippi until mid-November.

Fall is pretty in Mississippi. The mosquitos don't sweat as much.

The oil is there to hold dirt. K&N's are poor in regards to trapping dirt and need all the help they can get. The question I have is why would anyone run them without oiling?
