Default How to clean a rc1060 k&n air filter
Hi I have installed rc1060 k&n air filter on my pulsar 150 dtsi for past 2 months. The acceleration seems pretty well. But the top end and the mileage have gone for a toss after the jetting.

Now, I have almost covered 3000 kms after I had it installed and so now I need to know how should I clean it.

I have heard about cleaning it with a solution and oil from k&n. But I searched almost in all major parts of mumbai like Lamington road, Bandra and a few well known mechanics and stores. But nobody keeps the recharge kit for K&n(thats what one of the guy called it when I asked for k&n air filter oil and cleaning solution)

If anybody knows about it Please send me the details....

K&N filter cleaners are expensive (at least for my pocket). Here's how u do it in less than 20 bucks. Take half a bucket of water, mix any detergent sachet, put the k&N filter in it and leave it overnight. Following day, rinse the filter in clear water and expose it under sun to dry. Then buy a 2t oil packet and get hold of a syringe and slowly inject oil all over the filter. It's a tried and tested method and doesn't wrap the filter not one bit

One word of caution : do not overuse the oil.
