I bought a KLX140 and I am a first time dirt bike owner! A lot of daunting information out there but your tutorial was really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks
Great video. I like the design of the KLX air box much better than my son’s 2007 CRF150r. I have to remove the seat, side panels, and then struggle with the removal & reinstall after on his. It’s a tight fit for my hands and lining up the wing bolt & hole that holds the filter on is a pain…which is why I appreciate this design better. I agree on having multiple filters. I always have a fresh one on standby to go right back in after a box wipe down. This way I can clean, dry, re-oil, and store the replacement back in the original OEM packaging without having the bike torn apart waiting. I only mentioned that for those that have never done it 😉 Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for watching! I have since learned that you shouldn't oil your air filter if you think it might be stored for an extended period. Even No Toil can slowly break down the foam.
I just got a twin air filter for my kids klx140l bike. It’s quite a bit smaller in size than the stock one. I think yours is too but just wanted to check.
so can the notoil remove the original filter oil? cause it says it will only remove notoil products, do i have to buy a new un oiled filter or can i wash the old one in gas then use the notiol oil and then use the notoil cleaner in the future, just want to know before i buy it, trying to save some money
I've used NOTOIL on 'unknown" filter oils before, and sometimes it has worked. Maybe because the 'unknown' filter oil was actually NOTOIL. Definitely try using the NOTOIL cleaner first, then nuke it with gas if that doesn't work. After that, use the NOTOIL. I'd recommend having 2 filters that you can rotate.
See if your spray bottle will work without diluting the oil first. If it won't spray the oil at all, then add a small amount of alcohol until it sprays.
@@JCEpperson242 thank you John.....I will try that.....have you ever tried running the bike with out the air cleaner box to allow more air flow.....in the 70's and 80's we set all dirt bikes up that way.
Very little. Just enough so the sprayer will pump it out. Depending on the sprayer you have, you may not need to add alcohol. Use the 'stream' setting with un-mixed oil, and work it into the filter. Still better than the aerosol IMO.
