Using this K&N air filter is easy. Just remove your old air filter and install this new one in its place. When riding in dirty or dusty areas, it's important to check the filter regularly for dirt and debris. If it gets dirty, simply wash it using a K&N filter cleaner. After washing, let it dry completely and then re - oil it with a K&N filter oil. This will keep the filter performing at its best. Remember, don't use any other cleaners or oils as they may damage the filter. Also, always make sure the filter is properly installed to avoid any air leaks.
