thanks for the video. - all chemicals (kerosene, oil, air-filter oil) should be handled with gloves on - they absorb right through your skin and end up in your liver. - plain engine oil is not a good thing to use on the foam because it eventually ends up at the bottom of the filter leaving the top of the foam, too dry and the bottom too wet. Always use air-filter "oil" - it goes on easy and "dries" to a very tacky state and never moves in the foam after application.
Thanks, Kenny. Many of your videos are helping me learn my KLR since I bought it two months ago. Leaving from Detroit tomorrow to ride the Trans Labrador Highway (northeast Canada). Should take a week or so just to get to the start of it!
kennyraceboy I know things change and time moves on. But there is some thing, about you and the KLR that is natural. Sort of achievable for anyone. That not to say the new addition will be any less enjoyable to watch. So good luck with what you choose and thanks for doing what you do. : )
ducatiphill Yes, I whole heartedly agree, and thats what I love about the KLR so much! And I'll do every thing in my power to keep it around, and I hope the new motorcycle addition will open a whole new world of videos that people can enjoy! As always Ducatiphill, I am thankful for all the great people that take the time to be active in this awesome community!
Just got a klr650 off craigslist. Thank you for this video. This is my first bike.

Im sure you're right, but kawasaki still recommand to use engine oil in their owner manual.
Excellent! None of this extraneous BS with good vid and short.

I like these vids that show you practical ways to do things. I learned that kerosene and gear oil work on chain cleaning and lubing too.
Your good demonstration makes it encouragingly simple. Thank you.
Perfectly succinct, well edited, and informative video. Thanks.
I went straight out and did this after watching. I did have some (little) idea how to do this but you made it easy. Good stuff
Great to hear man, this kinda knowledge, you'll never forget!
Great job with this vid sir! First one I've seen that actually shows how to. I have a '22 Adventure model and hope it's the same setup. Stay safe!
Awesome video - simple, clear, to the point. Nice work!
Very well put together video! Thanks for all the info
Really easy to follow. Thanks!
Thanks for uploading this. Its about time i do this to my KLR.
***** No worries man, glad you got some use out of it!
kennyraceboy Have you decided what your next bike will be?
Well i rode a Super Tenere, the other day and it was pretty awesome! So I'm thinking its going to be that, its just a matter of when.
Cool. Im looking foreword to seeing those videos.
Thanks! Well done.
Awesome and well done video. Thank you!
Exactly what I needed to know , awesome .
Thanks for the vídeo.
I hace a question, why should i apply oil to the air filtre when it is clean ? Thank You.
The oil makes the filter "tacky/sticky"
tank you for this help , i`m fron argentine
HI, the original air filter KLR is cleanable ? I am thinking to buy a twin air ? which is your opinion about it? thanks
lovly video i just wanted to knkw i f i dont have carosine van i use alchol?
Very nice video, thank you...
Gracias...
thank you bro !!
Thanks!
shouldnt use kerosene or motor oil, they contain petroleum which will degrade and disolve your filter over time.
You should wear gloves when handling kerosene!
Good advice. RSM8
***** Thanks man!
Oh sorry I see folks have already pointed that out lol
Please ware at least some cheap rubber gloves your liver will love you other than that great video
Are you really going to replace the KLR ?
ducatiphill Yes sadly, but hopefully I'll still be able to keep it around, and make videos with it in the future.
