Yeah, I had already removed the red outer layer. I guess I'll use the K&N oil and give 'em a quick spritz.

Thanks to all for the input!

You'll get different opinions on this one, but I never did. I think there is enough intake reverberation (is that the right word?) on a triple engine to make it un-necessary. In other words, there is a cloud of pre-mix trying to come out of the mouth of the carbs which will oil the filters - late or early oiling systems regardless...!


Inversion....or I've heard people use reversion. But, reverberation sounds good to me.

I don't oil them....but if I lived/drove down a dusty road or used them on a dirt bike I likely would.

Probably, but on my invoice it just says "angled". They fit an S2A nicely!

Reversion is the usual term, as the flow reverses in the intake track as the piston comes down compressing the mixture before the piston closes the port.
