Ramair air filters
For those of you with Ramair filters fitted, what do you use for cleaning them? Ramair recommend their own cleaner (of course) and their Polymer aerosol to recharge them. With my other pod filters i just use kerosene to clean and air filter oil to recharge. what are your thoughts and recommendations chaps?

Re: Ramair air filters
Normal kerosene or paraffin. Then a cheap old silicon spray to give them a wee dressing, DO NOT make them dripping wet though.

Re: Ramair air filters
Thats the exact reason why i'm asking Killer, i rode through a small cloud of grasshoppers on Monday (sort of like a small bird) and ended up getting some green guts around the filter. Front of the bike had this 3D effect happening
Not sure about using aerosol silicon though Mince, the solvents could break down the foam over time. Depends on the brand i guess. I usually pour the oil on and squeeze as much back out as i can.
Thanks guys.

Re: Ramair air filters
Ah well, you only `mist` it on, as I said soaking the closed cell foam could have an effect.
In the UK it never gets dry enough for dust!

Re: Ramair air filters
We get green fly, ladybird and the damn midgees up here but grasshoppers?
The only grasshoppers I ever see these days are the dealers running from the gavvers vaulting across folks fences and gardens!
