I Ruined My Heavy Breather Air Cleaner ON My DYNA (FXDLS) / DYI

WELCOME BACK TO YET ANOTHER DYI. ON THIS VIDEO I TAKE OFF THE STOCK AIR INTAKE OFF MY DYNA. I HAD A FEW DOUBTS ON WHETHER I SHOULD BE OK TO CLEAN THE STOCK AIR CLEANER OR IF I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE? IF THEY WERE MADE OUT OF PAPER WOULD I BE ABLE TO RE LUBE THE PAPER FILTER AFTER WASHING IT. CAN I GET IT WET?
STAY TUNED AND FIND OUT. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK SHOULD I BE OK TO WASH THE AIR CLEANER OR DID I COMPLETELY RUIN IT

I clean mine every year, irrespective of mileage and once it's dry I apply the red K&N filter oil to the high points on the filter so it soaks all the way through. Once it's all red it goes back on. Never had a problem and it's the same process I used on dirt bikes. Ride safe...

The oil is coming from your head breather bolts... Get a Fueling Parts Vented Dipstick cause your having blow-by issues... This will reduce the amount of oil coming from the breather bolts & feeding back into the cylinder's

Thanks for the tip I’ll look into getting a vented dipstick🤙🏼

It's basically a K and N filter. Clean and oil it appropriately. The oil stops dirt from entering somewhat. They flow great but aren't really very good at keeping dirt out of your engine. Enjoy

Hey Dude - 12:00-12:05 You say you "CAN'T" oil the stock filter. This is 100% FALSE. Your 2016-2017 FXDLS Owners Manual Page 137-138 clearly describes the cleaning/oiling procedure for your STOCK SE Heavy Breather (K&N) Air Filter. Specifically #5. "Oil the filter" on page 138. Hope this helps. Ride safe.

Dude thanks next time I’ll be sure to oil it, didn’t wanna mess up the only heavy breather I have. Hope everyone checking out this video reads your comment so it can also be useful for them.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

It's a K&N filter you must oil it...
It's not a stock air filter your using
