SE A/C question
Dealer installed A/C before I picked up bike and I didn't get any instructions on cleaning.
Could someone break it down for me?
I have used K&N's in the past that needed oiled. I know that you don't oil the SE, but I don't know what you use to clean it properly.
Thanks

The SE filter is paper and cannot be cleaned properly.Harley wants you to buy a new one. It also will not last as most have been separating at the bottom. You really need to check them every chance you get. Best bet is the K&N filter. They now have 1 for the 08s with the SE backplate and charge more for the correct holes drilled in it. I could not wait when i changed and use the HD-0800. Truly worth the expense. Good prices on Ebay.

correct pn# is HD-0818 or if ordering through a dealer from Drag Specialties it is 1011-1410 for the Drag #. I also have the SE filter cleaning instructions that I can post for you this afternoon.

Actually got it now.
MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner Element Maintenance
NOTES
This is a dry air filter. Do not apply oil to the filter element.
When servicing the air cleaner, apply Loctite 243 (blue) to
threads of all fasteners.
1. See Figure 1. Remove air cleaner cover (B) and inspect
the filter element (7) every 5000 mi (8000 km), or more
often under dusty conditions.
2. Clean filter element as follows:
a. Remove and wash element by immersing it, on edge,
in a shallow pan containing enough Air
Cleaner/Degreaser to cover no more than 3/4 the
depth of the filter pleats. Do not let dirty solution get
inside the element. Carefully "roll" the element in the
solution around its perimeter until the entire outer
surface of the filter pleats has been soaked.
b. Remove filter element from cleaner/degreaser and
allow five minutes for the cleaner to dissolve the dirt.
c. From the inside out, rinse the element with cold water.
Shake off excess water, and allow the element to air
dry. Do not dry with compressed air.
3. Install air cleaner element and cover.
