Grandmaster Flatcap Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I've had C8RHM for a year now (that has gone fast ) and I'm ready to attempt my first service. Due to work and family stuff, no doubt this will be spread over many weekends doing bits here and there. I also intend to have a go at fitting an Apollo tank (so expect questions). Does anyone have any links to good articles on servicing a K-Series? I'm a bit of an over-researcher when doing something for the first time. Tips? Also, how often would you suggest changing the air filter? Is this an annual job? Annual seems a bit much for my mileage. Thanks as always.

John Vine Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 As JK says . Re the filter, I'd suggest changing it every 4-5 years. In the meantime, a thorough annual clean should suffice. Assuming it's a K&N item, the K&N cleaning kit works a treat. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotsky Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Ill add my 2 penneth re the air filter, clean and re oil annually with kn cleaning kit, just done mine after months trying to sort out a steadily worsening hesitancy and misfire. Having gone through checking and changing various bits inc. plugs, ht leads , coil pack and tps it turned out my kn filters were filthy, they looked ok mind. But a quick last resort run up the rd with no filters revealed them to be the culprit, I wouldn't recommend running sans filters but I'm glad I did now as I was at a loss and on the pint of spending more money on bits I now don't need. Cleaned them and oiled them as per instructions and amazed at the results. Have done 40 k + miles in the last 5 years tho so they were pretty dreadful 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
