[QUOTE="Redfish Hunter, post: 1077755, member: 28773"] Fred, I was right there agreeing with you all the way up to... I think what Baz meant when he said, "so saving a few bucks by trying to extend the life of a filter usually will end badly over time for you" was a reference to his earlier statement, " Yes, compressed air does help extend a filters usable life". If that is the case, I will agree with him. And, just to be my usual annoying self, I have seen instances of dirty air filters causing premature engine wear. But, they were not on FJRs or even in any motorcycle at all. I have seen air filters in turbo diesels that collapsed and then dumped a good portion of their trapped dirt and even pieces of themselves when they could not support enough airflow. Of course, that is so far removed from any FJR discussion I should not have mentioned it at all. [/QUOTE]
