Dumb Air Filter Question
Can I clean this air filter with a K&N recharge kit? I think its a factory air cleaner but I am not sure because ive never seen another air filter to compare.
Thanks!
Thanks!

if it's the membrane type which has only been out a few years, then you do not oil it. it will be stamped on the back of the filter itself, "do not oil" if it's the woven cotton sandwiched between screen, then it's likely the older screamin eagle filter element. or a k&n type. i'm guessing that since it has the true duals and the power commander, it's an aftermarket filter element or a screamin eagle.

My manual says to replace it.. But I have heard of guys cleaning them so thats why I was asking. Besides that, the K&N air filter and the stock one look identical other then color... but mine was so dirty it was hard to tell till after I cleaned it that it was a white filter, not a pink one.

It's not a stupid question. I bought my RK used and did not get a manual either. Mine is a screaming eagle air cleaner, I suspect that they are washed with mild soap and water and then air dried???
