You ever clean your air filter? (Yeah, you're supposed to clean it regularly.) So you know how nasty it can be, right? It's oily and dirty and quite unpleasant.

In order to clean it you need to get that dirty oil off, that means using solvent to break up the oil that's on the filter. Solvent is typically made of harsh chemicals and over extended periods can by harmful to your health and the environment.

Well guess what? Yamaha has come up with a biodegradable air-filter oil that's better for the environment. It doesn't have harmful chemicals in it to damage your skin either.

Add to that a biodegradable, water soluble, non-alcohol air filter cleaner and you've got a great alternative to a cleaner eco-friendly air filter.

How ever you want to slice it, we're going to be riding ATVs and 4x4s for a long time. Everything we can do to lessen our impact on our health and on the environment will be a good thing.
