Lefty Air Filter Oil
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
The lefty fork has an air filter in it and after cleaning the filter you are mean to oil it. Can anyone recommend an oil?
Cheers

If its a foam filter you could use motor bike air filter oil or K&N air filter oil avaliable at Repco/Supacheep ect.
Make sure it is foam air filter oil.
The K&N oil for use in their cleanable metal filters with the cotton element isn't suitable for foam filters - it isn't sticky and won't trap the dirt in teh coarser foam element. Some filter oil solvents will degrade the foam - Castrol I would avoid.
motul foam filter oil works well (on foam motorcycle air filters)nice and tacky and doesn't degrade the foam
available from most M/C shops
