Is there a special process to switch over to no toil when using something different previously?

Tip on the washing machine cleaning. Use the gentle cycle and add the no toil cleaner along with a normal amount of regular detergent. The washing machine definitely can be harder on the filters but I generally still get a year or more out of them

Yeah blu cru airbox is brutal.

Only bike I have ever greased the filter rim on - and I buy twin air filters because they have a rubber gromet that seals around the center of the backfire screen better.

Agreed. When I did the top end in my 250f I found dirt in the intake. I was so careful with it. Also used the foam plugs in the intake. Gravity is a bitch. The one downside of that intake.

C) run without

This is THE secret to gaining some extra ponies. The secret the factories don't want you to know about. Those foam filters are a hoax to get you to buy more parts and spend more money. Take it out and let er rip tater chip. You'll thank me later.

Agree, been doing this for years man! Just line your intake with some grease and you’re good!

@hershey you just throw 6 filters in a washing machine with nothing else in it but no toil powder ?

Follow directions on the bottle. 1/4 cup cleaner (I usually do half cup) and washing detergent like normal. Come out like new. Use the gentle cycle though.
