Ok so I decided to final put my K&N filter in and boy was I surprised, I like the good student had put the little pre filter in when I bought my rig. As it came with my new Maverick I thought why not came in the kit I need to install it. Well I don't know if any of you have it installed but when I took out the main filter and then the little as Can Am calls it pre-filter the bottom down in the air filter box below the small pre filter was full of sticky slimy grease oil, this stuff was like melted taffy. The bottom of the filter box had about a 1/4 inch of this stuff, I noticed when I put it in it was pre soaked with the filter oil however I had no ideal there was so much in it. What concerned me was I had always thought that getting oil on the MAS was bad and form the looks of all that oil I am sure my MAS has oil on it, at any rate it took a good 20 min to clean it all out. Just a FYI

Mine had the exact same problem and I have read on here that it has been that way for a lot of people.

Same here......get that excess oil out of there. Just an FYI it is called a post filter since it filters "After" the primary filter.

haha,yeah I missed that part completely

 

[heavysledz]

yea....wasn't trying to be smart ass but in order to avoid confusion down the rode.......especially since there is a pre-filter you can install as well.

 

[desertdog]

yea....wasn't trying to be smart ass . Are you sure??? I was thinking maybe you were transformed into that duneraisen guy. :haha: just kidding.

 

[heavysledz]

ouch! Don't make me refer to you as our buddy TXchristopher :shocked:

 

[Benzo]

oh ya those lil green filters are soaked as shit clean them with gas or cleaner then lightly re oil then re use

 

[PLAY-DOH]

That was break in oil ! Lol

 

[kroth1984]

mine was the same exact way. Took me a solid 20 mins to get the oil out. You will prob gain 20 hp by gaing more airflow hahah

when i got mine it had so much access oil in the bottom of the box that the engine was trying to inhaile it up into the intake. took an hr to clean the foam fitler and all the oil out of tha dam thing.

 

[crazywes]

Samething here.... makes ya wonder wth BRP was thinking !

If Im on the side of the trail posting ... its because Im waiting for you to catch up.

 

[Odyknuck]

The guy that puts those in is probably just dipping them in a bucket of oil and barley ringing them out and dropping in the box.

they actually come in a sealed bag from brp soaked already !

all the dealers install them

 

[Brayla]

Mine was not installed, it came in a separate bag. I washed it and sprayed it with PJ1 because they used waaayyyy to much oil.... On mine anyways.

ya they asked me b4 I picked it up if I wanted them to install it I looked at it and said ill do it later , after I clean it , lol

 

[raptor1644]

Yes correction Post Filter and I mainly wanted to warn any new owners not to put that in before cleaning it, all that filter can't be good on the Pressure And Temperature Sensor

 

[plumdrum]

Just cleaned mine up.It wasn't real bad but what is that crap,it's like spiderman was fooling around in there.:shocked:

Mine was the same way. I found out about it from another member before I took it out for the first ride. I cleaned out the air box and squeezed the excess from the filter into paper towels and put it back in.
