Hi Kc,
There have been a couple of problems occure with the Ramair filter.First I would suggest that you squeeze out most of the excess oil.
It can clog up the air flow meter and cause various running problems as it gets sucked through the air intake system.It also tends to drip from the airbox,and deposit itself around the engine bay !!!
Make sure it's fitted correctly(tricky)they have a habit of being sucked out of place !
Hope this helps,
Mark.A.

Hi Richard
All foam filters must use an oil as a dust retention media.
The ITG one's use a diffent grade to Ramair and it seem to stay in the filter, rather than leak out everywhere.
ITG's are £47.00 including delivery.

I have just put scans of the cleaning instructions for the Ramair on my web site, address to follow, these say after cleaning and re-applying of the polymer to let it dry for 6-8 hours or use a hot air blower to speed it up, this i would assume means the air filter should be treated the same when taken out of the wrapping.

I inspected my ramair at easter and noted the deformation at one end. By the time I had straightened it out and replaced it I was covered in the oil.
I was at Scoobysport on Saturday and has the ITG filter fitted instead. Its a better design with a wire mesh across the panel giving it extra support.
From what I remember it wasnt coated in oil like the ramair one. Though I only inspected it in the package.
Peter had a good number of these on-premesis.
