    just got a new twin air air filter and it is pre oiled. this is a first for me so it looks like there is not much oil on it is it ok to put more motul oil on it and fit it or do i have to wash it out and put fresh oil on it:confused:

    Never seen a pree oiled twin. Is it filter oil (sticky) or what? If not clean it, if so, add more.

    Mine came pre-oiled. Not heavily, but sufficiently.

    Seems to be a new marketing thing. Both Twin and Moose sell pre oiled filters. I like the idea of going from box to bike with no fuss.

    The last Twin Air filter I bought from my local dealer was pre oiled also. It was oiled enough and kind of nice to just throw onto the bike.

    Sweet new marketing. Nice to see the manufacturers are getting-er-done.

    I think this time of year the pre oiled jobs should be ok. it will get a lot dustier here soon and a heavy dosage will be needed. But good to go now.
