    I want to clean up a K&N air cleaner. What is the best procedure or product for the job? The filter is a little oily and a little nasty from the summer riding. I don't want to buy a new filter if I can just 'wash' this one out somehow.

    Painter, don’t throw that air filter away. The K&N filter will be good for several years if maintained right.
    K&N makes an solution/cleaner ( you can also use any good detergent soap), you just spray on, let it soak for ten minutes, reverse flush out with water, let it completely dry, re-spray with K&N air filter oil.
    That’s one of the reasons the K&N filters are so great…
