Riding with a clogged filter is like running with a stuffy nose...The air filter plays a significant role in the health, consumption, and "breath" of your bike. It prevents impurities from entering your engine while aiming to provide the best airflow.
The cleaner it is, the more effective it becomes. Lifespan of an air filter. The lifespan of a motorcycle air filter can vary significantly depending on whether it is well maintained or not. The procedure differs for foam or paper air filters, but in both cases, your engine will benefit from proper maintenance. Cleaning paper or foam air filters.
Cleaning a paper air filter. For paper air filters, dry cleaning is recommended. So start by gently separating the folds of the cardboard and vacuuming to remove the bulk.
Continue with a brush, but not too stiff to avoid damaging the paper structure. If you have a compressor, a good blast of air combined with the brush will be even more effective.
(Direct the air jet from the inside to the outside of the filter, so as to expel impurities and not embed them) (and vice versa, of course, when vacuuming). Important: paper filters should not be coated with oil as they operate dry, which would only clog them further. Cleaning a foam air filter.
For foam air filters, avoid white spirit and gasoline as they degrade the cells. Clean it twice with dish soap and warm water, rinsing thoroughly each time. To wring it out, squeeze it but do not twist it (again, to preserve the foam). When it is completely dry, naturally, no dryer or radiator! Place it in a plastic bag with filtration oil and knead it.
Then, once it is well impregnated and drained, apply grease to the contact surface with the airbox and replace it. (For cross/enduro use, plan on replacing it every eight to ten washes). The average lifespan of an air filter varies depending on its nature, use, and maintenance.For a paper air filter, it ranges from 5,000 to 12,000 km depending on usage. For a foam air filter (off-road motorcycles), it can go up to 45,000 to 50,000 km. Contrary to popular belief, riding in the city does not spare the air filter. It becomes much dirtier in polluted environments than in the countryside. Of course, in cross or enduro use, it is a different story.
Here, it is recommended to wash it after every outing. The lifespan of a motorcycle air filter can vary significantly depending on whether it is well maintained or not. To check if your air filter is still usable, hold it up to bright light and see if you can see light passing through.
If you still can't see light passing through, it needs to be replaced. Finally, if you are really in doubt about its condition, remember that given the importance of the air filter, it is really worth changing it a little too early rather than too late. Replacing a motorcycle air filter is not too mysterious. In most cases, the filter is located in an airbox, which is generally situated behind the carburetors, under the tank, or under the seat. During disassembly/reassembly, you can take the opportunity to wipe and vacuum any impurities that may have settled in the airbox itself and to drain it by opening the end of the small tube that sometimes exits downward.
Ensure the new filter is properly sealed. On one hand, by placing it correctly during reassembly, and when it comes to a cross filter, by applying grease to the contact surface to prevent dust and other impurities from slipping into the engine under the air filter. Do not use gasoline or white spirit.
Never replace a wet filter (which can introduce water into the engine). Do not twist a foam filter to wring it out (just squeeze it).
Do not apply oil to a paper filter (only on foam and KN filters). Remember to dispose of leftover oil in a container and take it to a recycling center or garage rather than pouring it down the drain.
