Ok ..
I dont know if it is me, but i am having a problem with a new crank case breather filter i just put on yesterday..
Driving my bike today...goin down the highway...my bike stutters a bit..then cuts out on me...so i roll and pull onto the shoulder...what the!!!..luckily a gas station is not far away...i push it there..wont start and my OIL LIGHT is on!!! I look and plenty of oil though???....
well...i figure it has to be the new K&N filter I put on for my crankcase....I replaced the old plastic pod and the tubes going to the airbox and my crackcase back to stock....after a bit it would then start back up....
My K&N filter was choking my crank case or something..!!!!
It was a brand new filter?...Now ..from what I know about K&N filters...are that they need to be oiled? when new...
It was white and dry as a bone when i got it new...i oiled it lightly so that it was reddish...should i have not oiled it???..
For some reason it was choking my crankcase...
WHAT IS THE DEAL...????
well at least my bike is alright...rode it home...
I want to put the K&N filter back on, but dont want to choke the bike again....
what should i do?
Thanks.
