Redline's Weber Air Cleaner

Post by ARCHINSTL »

Umday question, I'd imagine, but...
How does one clean this short cleaner - with the expensive K&N stuff?
Or...?
Natuarally, Redline supplied no information with this accessory...
I'd prefer a "real" element instead of this sieve, especially were I in a dusty area - but it does look neat...

I'd imagine spray it with an air compressor nozzel or one of those cans of computer dust cleaners would work fine

The recommendation from a long time Guzzi mechanic is that the K&N type filters are NOT good air filters and result in excessive cylinder bore wear. A paper element is probably a much better solution considering that the "free flow" filter will only make a difference (if any) at wide open throttle.

Just as I thought !
Now to find a paper element which fits the "cool" top and bottom...

Do not do this. It can/will create holes in the media.

I spray on any one of those purple degreasers and let soak for 10-15 minutes. Then a gentle warm/hot water rinse and an overnight airdry. Then a spray of K&N air filter oil or equivalent and it's good to go.
