1999 Voyager XII Air Cleaner Question

[BOBEYE22]

I was wondering a good place to purchase a new air cleaner element. My bike sat quite awhile and a mouse got at the air filter. Also the foam around the outside is deteriorating and sucking into the carbs.

Look in the Tech section under "dollar for dollar".

Thank you

You'll see a post about using a Camaro filter, I think, using the frame of the stock Voyager XII filter. This is what I did, with a K&N filter. The K&N filter listed for the Voyager XII no longer exists, so I used one for whatever it was they say, I forget. Used Permatex to seal the gaps, and used a couple of layers of the rubber that came with the filter to build up the top to correct for the missing air filter hold-downs.

I ordered 1 through Partshark just last night. Got an email today saying it was on a national backorder and has been discontinued by Kawasaki.

That is disappointing
I have no other suggestions.

It is disappointing.

I should have an oil bath off an old Case DC if you think that could be crammed in there....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000C ... UTF8&psc=1 is the K&N filter I bought off Amazon. YIKES the price has gone up by thirty bucks since I bought it a bit over a year ago. Holy smokes I installed in on 3/2/22, and have put 25000 miles on her since then, without going on a long trip, just commuting and occasional club rides. Wow.

The K&N filter is for an '85-'92 Camaro, and fits inside the plastic portion of the stock air filter element. Just pull all the paper out. I didn't have to do any trimming, and I filled in the gaps around the element with black RTV. The filter hold-downs have been missing the whole time I've had Gertrude, so I used the rubber that came with the filter to fashion spacers to hold the element down.

If the foam rubber around your existing element is toast, you can use stick-on weatherstripping foam tape from Home Depot in the appropriate size.

....and a brand new air filter showed up today with the two headlights that were ordered at the same time.
