another n00b question
I changed the oil before my Moab trip, but didn't change the filter. I'm going to be changing the oil and filter this weekend. I purchased the KN 112 filter and it should arrive today or tomorrow.
A friend told me that I may need to "oil the filter". I am not familiar with this, since I am a bit new to motorcycles.
Is this required on these filters? How is this done?
Thanks

RE: another n00b question
It's not really necessary. The inside of the engine is already lubricated with oil - it's not starting up dry.
I've never poured oil into a filter prior to putting it in. Never had a problem because of this that I know of.
Just remember to put a dab of grease on the spring so it will stay in place while you put the filter in.
