- Allow the filter to dry completelynever install a wet filter into the bike.
- Apply high-quality foam filter oil evenly to all surfaces, working it into the foam. Do not over-saturate.
- Clean and inspect the air filter cage, paying special attention to the sealing ring.
- Install the freshly oiled filter securely onto the cage, ensuring proper alignment for a full seal.
