hi everyone,

i think most of us own a Alta CAI for our MCS.
Just wondering does anyone cleans the intake and how?

In order to maintain the intake quality, i think cleaning is needed.
Does anyone knows how by ourself?

I also realized that Alta CAI is very oily.
Wouldnt the engine sucking oil instead of air in?

 

Are you talking FILTER ???

 

i cleaned my alta intake filter today its easy with the uni filter cleaning kit and i will be able to clean it at least three more times with it.

 

I cleans my own intake too.

heres the link to the cleaning kit

 

Alta does carry the foam filter cleaning kit.

Also any motorcycle parts, even dealer will have what you need.("no toil" is earth friendly)
Don't get a kit for fabric filter (K&N)

 

Thank you everyone, and guess i will buy the foam cleaning kit from alta.

 

It is very easy.

Remove the red foam filter from the car.
Spray the cleaning spray onto the filter.
Hose off the filter from inside and out, removing all the old oil and cleaner.
Let it sit out in the sun and/or breeze for a couple hours. Once it is completely dry, both inside and out, spray it with the oil from the kit, and lightly massage it in. I find that if you put the filter in a plastic shopping bag after spraying it, you can then massage the oil in, and also install it back in the car, without getting your hands all oily. You can hold the filter on with one hand, (with the bag still around the filter), then with the other, tighten the clamp with a screwdriver.

Once tight, (not too tight; because if you over tighten the clamp, the filter will be squeezed off), then simply pull off the plastic bag.

Voila! you're done.

 

Thanks guys and gals! Excellent points. For sure if you are in a pinch use what is available at a local ATV store for cleaning foam filters.

Let us know if we can help out in the future!

No Toil is great and a kit will last forever. Its also a nice plus that its "earth friendly"...

 

Clean the thing outside because the cleaner smells more potent than napalm.

 

Excellent point! Protect the brain!
