Since Comptech is still reconstructing its business, I don't even know if they will carry the air filter cleaning kit. So how do you guys clean the filter with? Can I use the K&N filter cleaning kit to clean the Comptech air filter?


Any input is greatly appreciated!

 

You can order foam filter cleaning and oiling products from Amsoil ( http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/afo.aspx for info on their high tack foam filter oil, and the product code for the foam air filter cleaner is FFC-BE - call their tech service line with any questions at (715) 399-TECH).
I've used both products with no problems.
I don't recommend using K&N cleaning and oiling products because they're designed to clean and oil gauze filter media.

 

they are UNI filters so google filter cleaning kit

 

The kit is still for sale!!

anyone thought of just replacing the filter with an aem oil free filter? its the same dimensions. i am waiting for it to be available and then i was going to try it out.

Just depends on the price.

 

i have seen some online stores selling it for 50 bucks. but none have it in stock yet.

i personally hate oiling filters, so paying 50 for a new one, and to be able to wash it in water dry it and reinstall makes it worth it. i think the kit is 28 to clean it, but i dont know how many cleanings you get out of it.

 

You can use the K&N stuff if that's what you've got on hand. You can also use Simple Green, dish detergent, or practically anything that cuts grease.

Do make sure you let the filter dry completely before you re-oil it, just as with a K&N.

My drop-in Comptech filter came with an aerosol can of oil - hopefully the cold air kits do as well.

 

You can get the UNI filter or foam filter cleaner from most motorcycle shops.
