above. use WD-40 it takes it right out, give it a try and tell me how it is .post pic, i will of mine my filter was really bad and now i bet my motor will have more power cause i bet it was like breathing thru a straw cause it would bogg down just wasnt doing good (on a good tune) so try it
put ur filter in a zip lock bag and spray DW-40 on it and rub it when the bag gets dirty repeat in a clean one till it looks clean
and what i do is soak it in fuel so it expands and it get the Little things that made its way past the surface

You can just use soap and water and it si much cheaper than wd-40.

Kemo

Not to mention its much EASIER on the airfilter. They said you can use wd40 as a oil... lol

Yeah, I just use Dawn, i dunno what you're smokin brownstone, but i can paypal ya $20 if you'll send me some

XDD

I just use soap and water, its much better to clean it with. To oil it I use 3-in-One oil, WD40 can actually eat away at your filter over time. You are going in the right direction with the plastic bag trick, because I use that method.

A good bottle of 3-in-One oil will go a long way in the hobby. You can lube bushings, airfilters, and several other things. Great, cheap stuff.

A little offtopic, but WD40 tricked me with a little marketing trick the other day when I was at Lowe's. I saw a tiny travel can of WD40 and I could not help myself, I had to buy it...[&:] You never know when you might need it..

Ya'll are way behind in times for air filter oil! Go to a bike shop, atv shop or whatnot... buy a bottle of foam air filter oil. I have a tall bottle of IPONE that came in a 750 ml can for about 7 bucks. I'll never use it all up but its well worth the 7 bucks.

I use mineral oil for my airfilters it works fine and is very cheap.

i had a can of this spray that u soak the filter with it and it dissolves the dirt and grit in it in like and in a hr its clean then u use there oil to make it tacky i dont want to get flamed about it i just thought it was a good idea cause fuel and what not wasn't working in taking the grit and dust off i oiled it once and there was too much oil on it so i lost HP and it bogged my motor, so i sprayed wd-40 on it rubbed it in like twice, took all the air filter oil and dirt and cleaned it up then i lightly reoiled it, in my opinion WD-40 works the best for me, u may have your ways, but for new people this might save there motor you never no
please don't flame me its just a thought

not flamin ya, just tellin you what's up.

brownstone101

well whats up? i will use WD-40 for my filter and i dont let it soak, i spray it on and rub it, and take it out and rince it out so it wont burn the filter but, i get ya i just felt a flame coming thats all, see i wont flame any one, i am like a really nice guy, if u do it another way i state my opinion in the nicest way, and just hope not to get yelled at for it, i dont really care if u use lighter fluid on your filter lol. hope not. but i dont care cause every one is different i posted in that jato forum, that that guy was bashing the jato for the XTM well i just stated what i thought of it and left. not i hate that jato bla bla bla well if some one dose do the WD-40 thing please post pic and tell me how it worked out it worked for me lol
thanks guys

Why don't you guys just use normal air filter oil like the duratrax one?

brownstone101

XDD

Because we are cheap rednecks...

brownstone101

I also use the WD-40. I started using it because I never bought any air filter oil. WD-40 also works great on tires just before a race. Just dont overdue it, it can really soften them up.

brownstone101

ya u can use it too soften the tires up if they dry up or if u need good grab

I use K & N air filter cleaner. Put the filter in the sink, spray it with the cleaner, it all falls off, rinse it in hot water, let it dry, brand new.

monsterpede360

so and water and air filter oil(if your filter alows) wd-40

brownstone101

guys im just saying i like WD-40 that all it works good for me if u dont like it dont post please

Kemo

WD-40 will ruin a filter. Which is why we said we use soap and water.

brownstone101

o well its old here let me rephrase this
i do use warm water with dish soap
but i oiled it once and it was ALOT of oil so it was bogging it down[:@]and it was packed with dirt.oil on the surfacer i tryed everything fuel/hot water and soap just didnt work but i sprayed WD-40 on it every thing came out in im not going to be using WD-40 every time i clean it causethats a waste just when it gets relay bad like it was my motor couldn't breath so for not clearing that up im going to rename the thread to clear this up its going to be WD-40
