Ok looking in my factory book, it does say the 75 used an oiled foam filter. Keep the element damp with oil. remove clean and oil every 500-1000 miles. if hard use as in dirt riding oil clean every day.
That's on a stock filter, Mike's doesn't sell a 75 filter. They sell the 76 - 79 as well as the 80 up filter.
Yes that's the thread I was thinking of. They were talking about using a 77 set of filters in a 75.
My book also says they used a dry foam starting in 76. They used the same filter till 79. In 80 they changed.
So if your filters are the stock 75 then oil may be ok. If 76 up filters, no oil.
