FAQs

How often should I clean the BMC FM440/04 Race Air Filter?

The cleaning interval depends on riding conditions. For dusty environments or frequent track use, cleaning every 5,000-10,000 km (3,000-6,000 miles) is recommended. Inspect it regularly and clean when visibly dirty.

Can I use any air filter cleaner and oil?

It is highly recommended to use a dedicated BMC air filter cleaning kit and oil. These are specifically formulated for BMC's oiled cotton filters and ensure optimal cleaning and lubrication without damaging the filter media.

Will this filter void my motorcycle's warranty?

Using an aftermarket air filter generally does not void your motorcycle's warranty, provided it is installed correctly and does not cause any damage. However, it's always best to consult your motorcycle manufacturer's warranty documentation.

What is the difference between this race filter and a standard BMC filter?

Race filters are typically designed for maximum airflow, sometimes at a slight compromise on filtration of the absolute finest particles, prioritizing performance. Standard filters balance airflow and filtration for everyday use.

How do I know if I've used the correct amount of oil?

After applying the oil, the cotton layers should appear uniformly colored. There should be no dry spots, but also no excess oil dripping. Allow the oil to wick for about 20 minutes before installation.

Is this filter suitable for daily street use?

Yes, while designed for racing performance, its high filtration efficiency makes it suitable for daily street use, offering improved airflow and engine protection over OEM paper filters.

Troubleshooting

Reduced engine performance after installation

Ensure the filter is correctly seated and sealed within the airbox. Verify that the filter is not over-oiled, as excess oil can be drawn into the engine.

Filter appears damaged

Inspect the filter media and frame for tears or cracks. If damaged, replace the filter immediately. Damage can compromise filtration and airflow.

Difficulty installing the filter

Confirm you have the correct filter model for your motorcycle. Ensure the airbox is clear of obstructions and that the filter is aligned properly before attempting to seat it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility:

This filter is a direct replacement for the original air filter on the Suzuki GSX-R 600 and 750 models. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match the product specifications.

Setup:

  1. Carefully remove the original air filter from the airbox.
  2. Inspect the airbox for any debris and clean if necessary.
  3. Gently place the BMC FM440/04 Race Air Filter into the airbox, ensuring a proper seal around the edges.
  4. Reassemble the airbox cover securely.

Care:

To maintain optimal performance, the filter requires periodic cleaning and re-oiling. Use a specific BMC cleaning kit or a similar high-quality air filter cleaner and oil. Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning kit meticulously. Typically, this involves spraying the cleaner, allowing it to penetrate, rinsing with low-pressure water, allowing it to dry completely, and then applying the oil evenly. Do not use high-pressure water or steam for cleaning. Avoid using compressed air directly on the filter media.
