Brea, Calif. History has been made. Ryan Dungey is the 2010 AMA Pro Motocross Champion, securing his second title of the year this weekend at Southwick MX in Massachusetts. The 20-year-old rookie has gained enough points in the series with his complete domination of the 450 motocross class to take home the trophy with two races still left on the schedule.

Dungey claimed the 2010 AMA Supercross title in May, making him the youngest rookie racer ever to do so, and now has added the Pro Motocross championship to his list of accomplishments, making him the only rookie ever to clinch both titles.

Dungey has been unstoppable on his Suzuki fuel-injected RM-Z450 and has taken home the win in the past nine races in a row and won 16 out of 20 motos.

Cleaning and re-oiling your Twin Air filter with liquid power and liquid dirt remover

cleaning-smallCleaning your Twin Air filter with "Liquid Dirt Remover" filter cleaner and re-oiling your air filter with "Liquid Power" filter oil


Step 1: Clean filter
Soak filter in a kerosene based solvent [Air Filter Cleaner] in a tub for 3-5 minutes to cut the filter oil. Work out any trapped dirt or particles. The most important thing is that the inside of the filter is free of any particles whatsoever.

TIP: Do not use GAS or other harsh chemical cleaners!!! These break down the glue holding the foam filter together. They also prematurely deteriorate the foam.

Step 2: Rinse Filter
Rinse Filter with warm, soapy water, making sure all dirt particles are removed. Repeat step 2 if necessary. Be sure to rinse the filter with clean water to ensure the soap residue is gone.

STEP 3: Dry Filter
Place filter on paper towel or hang your filter somewhere clean and allow it to dry properly. Oiling the filter without allowing it to dry sufficiently will trap some of the moisture.

TIP: Do not oil your air filter right before riding. Preoil the filter at least 24 hrs before riding to allow the oil to evenly penetrate the pores and allow the thinning agent to evaporate. A recently oiled filter will cause rich conditions.

STEP 2: Squeeze Excess
Squeeze excess oil out of the filter so that a light coat of oil remains. Continue to massage the filter until the filter is evenly coated.

TIP: Do not ring out the filter when oiling. It is best to massage the oil through the pores with your hands. You can gently fold the filter and squeeze out the excess oil.

STEP 3: Install Filter
Install the cage in filter and install filter into airbox. Before installing check carburetor boot for dirt.
