Don't worry about salt in washing up liquid it is minimal and about 2% in a bottle and when diluted virtually 0, all soaps have salt or sodium as long as its not got the chloride that's the corrosion factor it's not like road salt.

Hi Dave what do you think is a good interval for changing paper air filters? My modern Yamaha owners manual have them lasting 24000 miles which I think is too much. They also only change oil filter every other service (so 12000 miles) which again, I think is too much. It does beg the question, why is main dealer servicing so expensive when it is (usually) just an oil change and a few checks? I change both every year when I service bikes myself. I only use cheapo Hiflo ones but I would rather have a fresh cheapy in the bike for 6000 miles max than a genuine OEM left in for too long. Who is right and who is wrong?
@obsession_engineering7 күн бұрын
The manufacturers will have done a lot if research and development to decide on their figures, more than I could ever do. Saying that, it's better to change more often than not enough! I'd expect most air filters on road bikes to do 12k miles, and nothing wrong with hiflo filters at all. Oil filters I'd change every year, or every oil change. Not like they'll break the bank
