What's the best way to clean the stock filter ? I've blown it thru with compressed air but it still looks dirty. Can I wash it with something ?

Pls - no gasoline suggestions from the suicide crew

No, you replace the stock filter. Get a K&N if you like cleaning filters.

Stock = Replace only.

Second the suggestion to get the K&N...I have had one on my car for the last 10 years and it is still in pretty good shape after at least 50 cleanings...

Yeah, get the K&N. Also... Don't use compressed air with the K&N : ). They make a cleaning kit that also comes with some spray on oil. The filter and the cleaning kit work EXCELLENT.

I got a City X with a chopped inner air box. I went with the Fram Air Hog. Looks better than the K&N and peforms just as well.

P/N 29388-02YA

It's the same as the FRAM # PH 4967, which fits all of the XBs and the Blast.

are the air-hogs one-use filters or can they be cleaned and re-oiled like the k&n?

They are reusable, just like the K&N.

How the hell does it fit the Blast and XB ? Are they not completely different?

By K&N stuff do you mean spray on oil? If so then yes...the K&N oil will work just fine.

Not sure rocketsprink. Check the Fram website. Same part number for both XBs and Blasts.

the reason the XB and the blast have the same part number cause its for the OIL filter not the air filter.
