Brake cleaner? HAHA
I use the stuff from the K&N kit. It's not that expensive and it lasts a while.

I never used anything but the K&N stuff in my truck... and never got to wash my bikes...

I'd imagine ANY degreaser would be ok... but i'd use dish soap if I wasn't gonna use the K&N cleaner


is yours Foam or cotton? my K&N is cotton so I don't have to worry about certain cleaners eating away at it.
