Dan R Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Does anyone have any advice or recommended products for cleaning a foam air filter? I have no idea if and when mine was done last (and/or if it requires oiling) and am keen to do that as part of its winter service. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Nigel B Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Pipercross do a cleaning kit. It’s essentially a can of detergent that you spray on the filter before rinsing it out with water. You then leave the filter to dry & re-oil with the second can. I think other filter manufacturers have similar products. https://www.thepipercrossshop.co.uk/products/filter-servicing-products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtBuddha Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Just make sure yours is the type that requires oiling. Some do... some don't. Mine (PX500) didn't. Pipercross' website and tech guides are reasonably informative. Edited January 13 by DirtBuddha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I think i have the PX500 also, and have found this resource but it seems a bit ambiguous if oil is required or not?? https://www.thepipercrossshop.co.uk/pages/competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
