I do not know if I could trust rising and reusing something that is so important to keeping your engine alive.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
[&:]&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Apparently you must, as I see that heavy breather with a K&amp\\;\\\\\\;N style air filter that gets washed and reused....

I hear ya, but putting water in your oil is a little worse than burning it with gas&nbsp\\;and air in a combustion chamber.&nbsp\\; And I will be honest with you, I am extremely careful with the dry time on my filter and it still makes me wonder a little.&nbsp\\; I let the filter complete dry after washing and then give it a day or so after applying the oil.&nbsp\\; I also do not ride in the rain because of the fact that I could take water into my engine even though I have read that people have ridden in the rain with the Heavy Breather, call me crazy.&nbsp\\; [sm=smiley20.gif]
