The air filter is an essential component of the air intake system, responsible for filtering out harmful particles and contaminants from the intake air. It protects the engine from dirt, dust and other foreign matter that could otherwise cause premature wear or damage.
Air filters for motorbikes usually consist of a filter element made of either paper, foam or a special filter material. This filter element allows for efficient airflow while retaining particles.
It is important to regularly maintain the air filter and clean or replace it as necessary to ensure optimum engine performance. A dirty or clogged air filter can restrict airflow and thus affect engine performance. Exact maintenance intervals and recommendations may vary depending on motorbike model and manufacturer.
