Ships Dry – Air Filter Oil Required Before Use
This foam air filter is supplied without filter oil. Before riding, apply a suitable motorcycle foam air filter oil evenly across the entire filter, especially for dusty, sandy, or off-road conditions.
Reliable Filtration. Consistent Airflow.
Designed for demanding environments where dust protection, airflow, serviceability, and reliable sealing are essential.
Foam Filtration
Quality foam construction helps capture dust, sand, and airborne debris before they reach the engine intake.
Stable Airflow
Designed to balance effective filtration with the airflow required for rally and high-demand off-road riding.
Reusable Design
The foam element can be cleaned, dried, re-oiled, and reused as part of regular motorcycle maintenance.
Rally Application
Suitable for rally, desert, dusty trails, adventure riding, and competition-oriented motorcycle preparation.
Prepare The Filter Before Your First Ride
Because the filter is shipped dry, proper oiling and installation are important before operating the motorcycle.
Inspect
Confirm the foam is clean, dry, undamaged, and ready for installation.
Apply Oil
Apply a dedicated motorcycle foam air filter oil evenly across the filter.
Work It In
Gently work the oil through the foam so the entire filter is evenly treated.
Remove Excess
The foam should be evenly oiled but should not be dripping or heavily saturated.
Check Seal
Install securely and make sure the sealing surface sits correctly against the airbox.
Important
Do not operate the motorcycle in dusty or off-road environments with a dry foam filter. Proper filter oil significantly improves the foam's ability to capture fine dust and particles.
Keep Your Intake System Protected
Usage Notes
- Always make sure the filter is fully seated before riding.
- Inspect the sealing surface around the airbox carefully.
- Use air filter oil designed specifically for foam filters.
- Avoid excessive oil, which may unnecessarily restrict airflow.
- Do not use a torn, hardened, damaged, or deteriorated filter.
- Confirm fitment if the motorcycle uses a modified airbox or intake.
When To Inspect
- After riding in heavy dust or sand.
- After muddy or wet off-road conditions.
- Before long-distance rally or adventure riding.
- Whenever engine airflow or performance feels inconsistent.
- More frequently during desert and competition use.
- Before every major event or extended off-road trip.
Reusable With Proper Care
Routine cleaning and re-oiling help maintain filtration performance, airflow, and engine protection.
Remove
Carefully remove the filter without allowing loose dirt to enter the intake.
Clean
Use a cleaner specifically designed for reusable motorcycle foam air filters.
Dry
Allow the foam to dry naturally and completely before applying new filter oil.
Re-Oil
Apply fresh foam filter oil evenly and gently work it through the element.
Reinstall
Check the airbox and sealing surface before securely reinstalling the filter.
Designed To Be Serviced
For rally and desert riding, consider carrying a clean and properly prepared spare filter. This can make filter servicing easier during extended rides and events.
Replace the filter if the foam becomes torn, permanently deformed, excessively hardened, deteriorated, or unable to maintain a secure seal.
Avoid Aggressive Chemicals
Do not clean the foam with gasoline, brake cleaner, harsh solvents, or other aggressive chemicals unless they are specifically approved for foam air filters. Improper cleaners may damage the foam or bonded areas of the filter.
