5. See Figure 2. Install front cover plate with wire mesh and mesh filler plate using 1/4-20x2.5 in. SHCS screws provided. Alternate tightening in a star pattern until all six fasteners are snug. Then one-half turn (180 degree) each in same pattern. This is to avoid crushing the element. If necessary, another one-quarter turn (90 degree) but no more.

NOTE
Riding a motorcycle equipped with an exposed air filter element under rainy conditions IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
  • If parked, water could enter the engine.
  • If moving, enough water could be sucked in to cause engine misfiring.
Slip the rain sock (10) over the air filter element under these circumstances.
Final Assembly

MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner Element Maintenance
NOTE
When servicing the air cleaner, apply LOCTITE 243 MEDIUM STRENGTH THREADLOCKER AND SEALANT (BLUE) (99642-97) to the threads of all fasteners.
  1. Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter element every 8,000 Km (5,000 mi), or more often under dusty conditions.
  2. NOTE
    The use of cleaning, drying or oiling methods or products other than those shown will damage the filter and void the manufacturer's warranty
    K&N® Air filter Cleaner is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer, either alone (1 qt/0.95 L sprayer bottle, 99883-88T) or a 12 fl oz/0.35 L sprayer bottle as part of the Filter Care Service Kit (99850-92T).
    K&N Air Filter Oil is also available from a Harley-Davidson dealer, either alone (12.25 oz/347 gram aerosol can, 99882-88T) or a 6.5 oz/184 gram aerosol can as part of the Filter Care Service Kit.
    DO NOT OVER-OIL THE AIR FILTER. Over-oiling may interfere with the proper performance of the engine and/or certain engine components. If oil is still draining or dripping from the filter media twenty minutes after oiling, clean and oil the filter element again.
  3. To clean the element:
    1. Disassemble front cover assembly screws (11).
    2. Disassemble air filter element screws (6) and remove element (7) for cleaning.
    3. Tap the element to dislodge any loose dirt, then gently brush with a soft bristle brush.
    4. Spray air filter cleaner liberally onto the cotton filter media and let soak for ten minutes OR roll and soak the cotton filter media in a shallow pan of air filter cleaner. Remove immediately, and let soak for ten minutes.
    5. Rinse off the filter media (flowing from the clean side to the dirty side), with low-pressure tap water.
    6. After rinsing, shake off all excess water, and let the filter media air dry. DO NOT use compressed air or a heat gun to speed drying.
    7. After the filter media is completely dry, EITHER spray air filter oil along each pleat, once only, holding the spray nozzle approximately 3 inches (76 mm) away from the media, OR carefully use a squeeze bottle to deposit oil along each pleat, once only. Let the oil absorb into the filter media for twenty minutes before proceeding. After twenty minutes, inspect the filter media, and carefully apply oil to any remaining visible white spots on the filter media, and allow to absorb.
  4. Install the air cleaner element and covers.
