OK...
Has anyone used or using Ready Air filters?
they seemed very thin to me.
Hi there, yes i have used the pre oiled oil filters in my bike. AS for them, they are good if you are doing riding over a couple of days and are going to be chaning the air fileter as they are small and compact to carry around. I made sure that it was oiled properly and that there was an appropriate amount of oil around the seal so that it does seal properly.
I wouldn't re use them though as i don't think that the quality would stay in them
u can buy them for ebay pre oiled for like $15-20 they are ok i guess very very thin didn't really fit my yz too good much smaller than the OEM or TwinAir i have now.
Out of 10 id prob give em a 5 if that.
Don't know if I would use them as I agree that they seem quite thin and the foam appears to be pretty coarse grade.
Wouldn't touch them. They are nasty P.O.S. that don't deserve a place cleaning the air for the inside of YOUR motor. Convenience is one thing, but the longevity of valves, rings etc FAR outweighs the slight inconvenience of cleaning/re-oiling an airfilter during multiday rides.
Put it another way - I don't/won't stock them in the shop.
Just got one from "CHEAP AS **** AUTOS"
Think I'll just keep it for emergancies! Been known to drown a bike or two, would be handy then I spose. Nothing worse than wringing out a stinking wet oil filter in that situation!
went to supa cheap today,saw the filters ,thought a bit to thin fo my likeing
Now these Readyfilter guys have to put oil on the filter and put it in a fancy pack with gloves, there would be a lot of cost in packaging something like that. Even if you say $15 each where is the profit for them if they aren't buying cheaper filters in the first place?
Now I don't know what the dust etc. is like where you are but where we ride around here it is easy to get dust through a no toil with a filter skin over it as well. Not worth the risk if you ask me.
All this coming from people who actually pay for them. If you like em, SWEET !! but I won't be using them.
