Watch this before you throw your motorcycle's paper air filter! | Paper Air Filter Cleaning

Clean your paper/viscous air filter with petrol and give it a new life.
Sometimes, you may want to clean the filter instead of replacing it.
Warning: Risk of fire when handling petrol. Try this at your own risk!

Thanks, this is useful. Here in Portugal a new filter for a Honda Vision scooter costs €17.00 and with travel on dusty roads I need a clean filter after 500km. So for half a litre of petrol this is a winner. I will do 2 or 3 filters at the same time.

Literally just use any solvent, there's no reason to use expensive and dangerous gasoline.

[@jondotcom8706]

I use liquid laundry detergent/dish soap and the garden hose

[@Theunprogrammed1]

Do you have any steps ? My 1998 bandit 600 is bogging because of the air filter being so dirty and I wanna clean it

[@damonsmit5445]

Thanks for the tip!!! was thinking of replacing my filter but I'll try this first!

[@surajramk]

Given the price of petrol - probably just cheaper too buy a new filter

Again,it is not easy to buy air filter in a certain type of motorcycle

[@lel3450]

@@lejugertell me about it’s a bitch and a half to find a air filter for a like 150i. Why not buy foam cut it to size a boom.

[@Shambashamble]

filter price isnt 60 pesos a liter of gasoline

[@laurencesurja4219]

You could try buffing pads cleaner spray.

[@meta5291]

I'm sure the characteristics of the filter have changed. Better try a foam filter equivalent.

[@rosshendry8589]

Nice one 👍

[@Bricklinsv1970]

I clean mine with beer than piss on it and it works great good as new ;)

It could harm your quality of filter and filter gasket. Just buy new one wht taking risks

[@AHMET_AYDINLI]

Interesting...

[@whitestar3531]

Let s watch

[@abhishekpareek1918]

It's cheaper to buy new filter instead of using so much petrol

[@danchesney631]

With the cost of gasoline, & your labour, It would be cheaper to buy a new filter.

[@RollerGuideX]

in some countries, with recession and economic collapse; filters are very expensive. In Sri Lanka, a Honda XR 250 air filter is Lanka Rupee 24,000. Poorest 60% household monthly income is Lanka Rupee 26,000. Just to put things in perspective....

[@aniruddhabanerjee4287]
