I've been cleaning mine and the oil change kit I get comes with a filter, so I have several stored. Have a change coming up this weekend and will replace it for the 1st time just because. 2400 or so miles now

 

[JeremyGunn]

Thank You, sounds like a plan

Clean and re oil. You have to use the PJ1 cleaner. Keep a spare filter ready to swap as the filter needs time to dry before oiling. There is another way to oil is use No-Toil which is actually not oil. But you need to clean every molecule of oil off before using that and you can’t mix the two. 😎

I used half purple degreaser and Dawn together does a good job. Swish it around and forget it.for a while . I have 3 so the clean ones in already.

Hey @Mudwing

I changed the oil over weekend and in process replaced the air filter and used PJ1 for the 1st time. Basically I used a new pre-oiled filter (comes with the kit I buy) and sprayed it down with the PJ1 and reinstalled. When I first tried to start, it hesitated and chugged and turned off. After a couple of tries it started fine. I rode it yesterday and it may be my imagination, but it seems like it is running a little rough.

Reading your reply makes me wonder if I was supposed to clean the oil off the new filter before hitting it with the PJ1 and if that's why it feels a little rough or sluggish.

Pic just because

It’s a good question. We’ve been back and forth about oiling the new filter before. @DG Rider has been the resident tester for oiling filters. I don’t know if over oiling is your issue but I had my engine cut out due to a dirty filter. Have you checked your valves yet?

No, I am almost mechanical enough to change the oil and filter...almost . I didnt even think about the valves since it was only sluggish after changing the air filter. Actually thinking back, it was fine when starting between oil level and leak checks after changing the oil. I changed the air filter after all of that and then it started choking out.

I ran it about 30 miles last eve and it started right up and ran without issue, but it just seems like it's rougher.

I would run it. Clean the other filter per instructions then swap it out. See if that changes. Maybe you’re ultra tuned in and it’s in your head.

Good plan, I have a few filters ready to go, will just swap back to the yellow and see if my head clears up 🤪. Hell I never even thought about switching the filter out to see if that helps. Damn alkyhol

All hood in the hood. That’s what the forum is for. 😎🤣

For sure I would oil the new Honda filters based on what I've seen...

Multi - I don't think I'll be using new Honda air filters as delivered anymore.

So this topic has actually taken a month or 2 to complete, with pretty definitive results. At least for those of us with foam filters. Like many of you, I keep an extra air filter ready to go. It's well known that genuine Honda filters come pre-oiled. I ran the extra new one as delivered from...

hondasxs.com

I typically oil in in a zip lock bag since I usually use the liquid stuff. I over oil it, squeeze it, and then leave it in the bag out of the bottom. It can take a few hours to stop dripping.
I haven't used aerosol in a while, so I don't remember what it's like, but certainly, throwing the filter on right away using my way (without letting it drip) could choke a machine down.

Thx DG. The filters that come with my oil change kits are oily already, do they need more than what's there?
