pipercross viper kit - do they need oiling/servicing

[eggy790]

i know induction kits such as the viper are good for 100,000 miles etc. but do they need oiling say every year?

or a clean.. and if so .. is this the servicing kit for the viper?

yes and yes.

Vipers have very small filter elements which tend to tear.

thanks

is there anywhere where you can buy a replacement foam filter for it ? if you could provide a link that would be grateful. id rather do that than service the current filter. so ill fit a new foam for peace of mind. assuming you can get the carbon heat shield open?

 

[BenR]

Not that i'm aware of.

ahh right

so should i just get the cleaning kit then?

also how will i know if the filters torn? (sorry never seen one up close)

if it is torn.. is it reusable or will it need binning?

Its all glued to the outer carbon so 99% no

All IK's are meant to be cleaned after X amount of time usually stated on the instructions

If you look inside it, they tear right in the middle so it'll be pretty obvious.
