Speaking of clarification, could you clarify the part where you said, "the uni us junk" and "uni is the way to go". Maybe I'm just reading you wrong.

 

And all that advice is worth every penny you paid for it...

 

Ah, good. I see we all agree.

 

Just cleaned my Uni today, took 5 minutes. I treat and clean with No Toil. Treatment dries, slightly oily, very sticky... does not run via gravity. Cleaning is a snap, and all products are non-toxic and biodegradable. Spent 10 days in Southeast OR and Northern NV desert last month, about 800 miles of off road total running 3rd or 4th bike in very dusty conditions. Also had another 1200 miles of mixed riding since last cleaning. My outer layer was fairly dirty, my inner layer was dirty on the outside, quite clean on the inside - no indication of any pass through. Works for me.

Hey, anyone try this Rock Oil SWWAFF filter oil? I've read several positive posts on this product. It requires no special cleaner. This would be a big plus IMO. Apparently it only comes out of the filter with aggitation by squeezing and kneading the filter during the wash process, so the oil doesn't come out just by getting some water on it. One issue I notice is availability through my normal channels, but apparently it's available in the U.S. Here's a Dirt Rider test of it and other filter oils and cleaners.

I switch between the stock filter and a 2 stage UNI and notice no change in power. Both seem to do the job will but the UNI is cheaper than the stock Kawasaki one. Let everything OEM, way too expensive.
