It's still got a looooong way to go before its next scheduled maintenance. How could that be? Well, IDK, but I agreed to not oil that AC element and it ran fine. Clean and re-oil after 50,000 miles :D" I was aghast. It's ready to roll as it comes from the factory. It said, "Oil after 50,000 miles!" Well, I thought to myself, this is certainly a turnabout in corporate policy! Skeptical about this recommendation I contacted K&N for confirmation. Two years ago I got a "Joker Machine" AC c/w a K&N circular filter. I don't think you need to use as much oil as is recommended in the K&N kit. I couldn't believe it-oil was still dripping from that filter after 1.000 miles! I cleaned the element and gave it a very light shot of the oil. The next morning I went out and found the wet spots were oil. Too bagged to fret over it then, I took a shower and went straight to bed. When I got home I rolled straight into my shop, got off to stretch, and noticed a trail of wet dots on the floor. I got the kit and followed directions to the letter before leaving on a 1,000 mile tour. My experience with this AC is that you should be v-e-r-y careful not to over-oil it. I was told by the dealer that anytime the element starts to look grey-ish it's time to spray on the oil until it turns pink. :rolleyes: No, listen:įour years ago I got the H-D 'Heavy Breather' with a K&N cone element.
