Re:Is recalibration necessary with a K&N air cleaner? 1 Year, 2 Months ago

Finally received my Speedstar air cleaner kit from Cruiser Customizing after 44 days of waiting!

They’ve sent me the wrong part at first.

Couldn't get it locally.

The chrome cover with the Speedstar logo looks awesome, the chrome is impeccable.

One question though, the K&N filter seems to be dry, do I need to spray some gauze filter oil on it before use, and if so, which oil must I use? This detail is not clearly mentionned in the instructions.

Thanks,

RG
