Have taken out the bonnet air filter from my Javelin and washed it out with petrol. Cant seem to find any info of how much oil to put in it and assume its engine oil. Have checked service manuel but no details.
Thanks for any info Barry.

Re: Air filter
The answer is - enough oil for it do the job but not too much that the oil will spill out when the bonnet is raised at a 45 degree angle - I fill mine with the oil bath tipped at 45 degrees - that way you don't have guess - leave enough room / freeboard for the oil thinning at high temperatures
