I just got this kit yesterday. Before i Install it does the filter need to be oiled or is it ready to rock and roll? Do i need to trim the box?

Mods needed, engine cover needs to be trimed as described in the included instructions and the spacers for the engine cover need to be shorter.

JH just to add to what the others are saying. Buy the kit specifically made by K&N.; Follow the enclosed directions carefully and DO NOT over-oil the filter. Take your time and oil slowly, giving the filter media time to absorb the oil will help it spread evenly. Hope this helps!

No oil needed. Just run it. When finished, make sure you let all of the air escape the top tank, and leave open the valve in the bottom tank so the moisture can drain.

Unpack everything is in the box find the fastners that fits your equipment. Using screw driver tighten fastners and assembly after filter on the outake line. Using the tool in case and a drill. Drill the hole in the middle of assembly. Use the lube and plumbers tape on filter and screw it in. You are finished. It took me about 20 minutes.

It came with a sponge for cleaning off the filter and pump oil. Pretty much the standard for most of their units in regards to maintenance.

Just the recharging K&N;(oil) kit for washing and re-oiling your filter. It comes pre oiled and should last a year. They say the filter works better the dirtier it gets. Put them in all my cars. Just watch the how to video and take your time. The hardest part was figuring out where all the different size screws went. Use your common sense and deduction of elimination. Good luck.

There's no oil filter, so I would have to say no. I'm still breaking it in (less than 5 hours on it).

Hi, I have this accessory one year, I'll change the oil as soon as possible, but with a colleague who is engaged in servicing motorcycles. The weather is still unfavorable to him finished. When the oil filter is replaced, I'll know more. But I assume that the filter is a "classic" type, no exotics.

No, you just use a bit of grease. It just comes with the filter in a plastic bag and some K&N; stickers

My first question would be if you primed it according to the instructions that should have come with it (I think they're on the box)? If not, do so. If yes, something I've done to prolong the use of mine is to gently scrub the filters with a clean wet dish cloth. I'm assuming your filtering tap water, but if your filtering dirty water then flow can diminish quicker.

Yes, after you clean it you place a small amount of spray can oil on the filter

No, you do not have to oil the filter; it comes pre-greased. Although, it is a little tough to fit in the compartment. You could add more oil if you wanted, for an easy installation.

I don't wait I just lift out the filter and clean. When ready to change oil it'll need to be.

It should mount easier than any HD filter. Cleared all oil lines, brackets and electronics

You don't use any tools to tighten an oil filter, none. You are supposed to hand tighten the oil filters, don't be afraid, just make sure you clean the are were the oil filter is going to sit in and lightly oil the oil filter gasket.

Hi Gene - this was backordered, and I got mine today. There was no damage at all due to shipping. I followed the "first time" instructions (add oil, install air filter, run unloaded i.e. with air tank valve open for 20 minutes) - that all went fine.It is working perfectly so far.Boy - its really strong and well built too. The manual is kind of crappy though - but its not rocket science.Rob
