So I was reading this debate on FB about whether to oil a Yamaha air filter or not, and how often to change it.
I absolutely say you always oil your filter, but just enough to do the job, it should never drip. But here is where these people seem to freak out like I am harming my motorcycle. I look at the filter after riding, and if it is dirty, it gets changed. If it is not dirty, it stays put and gets used until it is looking dirty like it needs changed.
What's the point in changing the air filter if it is visably still clean? Why would I change it? I've survived 49 years of riding doing it this way.
Do some of you change your air filter if it's still clean? Why?
