I would add one more step, a fresh water flush in the direction that is backwards to the air flowing using a garden hose nozzle after the hot soapy water bath. Great video! Thank you!
I do that too
I do this also lol
Awesome video! Simple process and seems easy. Thanks
Great video! Thanks for the tips
Another option that has worked well for me are the filter skins. I put them over a clean filter and throw them away after a 2-3 rides. They are cheap and I don’t notice a loss of power using them
Thanks Jay!
Maxima FFT. Is blue. Not sure why Jay didn't name it, but i can almost guarantee thats Maxima. Goes a long ways and works well. Used it for about 17yrs on many different bikes.
Great video, what solvent and air filter oil do you use?
Just curious why do you oil the inside of the filter? Seems a bit much. Outside oiling is going to seep through to the inside anyway
hey i have a question. when i oil my air filter it doesnt become sticky or something. i use putoline air filter oil so it should be good right? i let my air filters dry for a couple of days and even on new air filters it wont become sticky but it just stays wet. do you know what could be the problem?
Mogging airfilter is crazy
Hard to beat the Maxima Pro Filter. More time doing productive things other then cleaning filters
Exactly. You spend 3x more for the filter and $5 in solvent, cleaner and oil to do it this way, plus the time and mess. No thanks, one time use filter is $10
I buy the maxima pro filters as well. Picked up a bottle of FFT as they do seem to not have enough oil on them sometimes. Only have to add a little bit so it lasts quite awhile.
@@butterytoast4836 Exactly the same thing that I do. They do come a tad dry for my liking.
i cant find help on this anywhere. once the air filter is oiled, how long do you leave it out before you put it back in the bike ? does it take a couple hours to dry and then you put it in ? or can you put it in straight after youve massaged out the excess oil ?
You can put it back in the bike immediately
What do you think of the No Toil stuff
Maxima FFT is a much better filter oil.
Have read gasoline works too, is that a viable solvent or does it ruin them?
Lots of discussion about this over the years. It seems to ruin some brands, the glue in particular. A safer option is kerosene or mineral spirits.
Use gasoline as a solvent if you want to be a contender for a Darwin Award.
@@chihuahuaverde425 Cool, thanks
@@huckfinn4260 Lol
Kerosene or Diesel is what I use.
Holy crap you used a lot of cleaner. That UNI stuff stinks! I like the no toil for ease of cleaning and no odor
No toil has the best air filter cleaner and oil in my opinion
I use the no toil as well. Easy to use a ton of water to rinse all the dirt out and you can dry the filters out in the hot water cupboard.
SOLVENT!!!!!!!
Tell us what solvent you're using that's the biggest hurdle I face. Nothing cuts a good quality air filter oil well.
I use naptha. Aka Colman fuel.
Mineral spirits works fine too.
Just pour a little on. It breaks down the oil/ wax then the dish soap cuts it away.
Then wash with dish soap.
Kerosene
@@woodysrockspyro6436 Neither of those damage the filter material?
Putting all that dirty water inside the air filter while cleaning 😮😮😮
Thanks, but I'll forgo all this nasty nonsense and keep using No-Toil.
Man I love Jay and look forward to his vids. He is the man. Period. But dang I found this method to be be very inefficient. Gotta say no-toil has been the way to go.
@@rdbs505 Perhaps the proposition of replacing these elaborate and well thought out cleaning systems that you developed over the years to suck a tiny bit less, with just chucking your filters into the washer sounds too good to be true. There's enough snake oil to go around in this market, so it's kinda understandable that people are careful about experimenting with a high-risk system such as air intake filtering. Then again, No-Toil has been around for a while and I doubt you can produce hard evidence to support that its subpar in performance to petrol based products.
I for sure don't miss having to deal with gallons of nasty ass liquids in various buckets, cleaning, filtering, not to mention disposing of it all... If I had to go back to that I'd either quit riding or just buy a new pre-oiled filter every time.
Not sure I can agree with you on no toil disposable filters if you don't change often and ride in dusty conditions. Those filters are pretty thin. Maybe good for a ride on a watered down track.
@@ryanoborn602 Ain't nobody talking about disposable filters.
I used to use No-Toil until it started to break down the foam on the filters. The foam literally disintegrated on the filter. It happened on a UNI and a Twin Air filter after less than a year of use. I even had one clean (and No Toil oiled) filter that was stored in a Zip Loc bag that was stored for future use come apart when I took it out of the bag. Never had that problem before. Switched back to FFT and haven't had the problem since. The FFT is a bit harder to clean, but I don't have to worry about my filter coming apart and getting pulled through the engine.
