"Washing" a stock paper air filter
So I had one of the only competent big bike mechanics in Pakistan do a few minor things to my Transalp several weeks ago.
I asked him to blow out my stock paper air filter with compressed air and he asked me if I wanted him to also "wash" the air filter. I let him have a go at it and after a few minutes and a quick dry on top of a light bulb, the air filter came out looking literally brand new!
The filter had a slight solvent smell afterwards and looked perfectly clean. The paper appeared to be in perfect condition also.
When I asked him what he did, he just smiled. Any idea on how he got the filter so clean and does this mean I have a new way to prolong the life of my stock paper air filter?
