FAQs

Is this filter pre-oiled?

This filter typically requires oiling before installation unless specifically stated otherwise by the manufacturer. Refer to the care instructions for proper oiling procedures.

How often should I clean the air filter?

It is recommended to clean the air filter after every ride, especially in dusty conditions. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and engine protection.

Can I use a different type of oil for this filter?

It is best to use a foam air filter oil specifically designed for off-road motorcycles to ensure proper adhesion and filtration characteristics.

What is the lifespan of the Apico Air Filter?

The lifespan depends on usage and maintenance. With proper cleaning and re-oiling, the filter can last for many riding hours. Inspect for damage regularly and replace when necessary.

Does this filter offer better airflow than the stock filter?

The dual-layer design aims to balance filtration with good airflow. While it provides effective filtration, airflow characteristics may be similar to or slightly improved over OEM depending on the specific model.

What does 'Fused Dual-Layer Design' mean?

It refers to two layers of foam bonded together: an outer layer with larger pores for high airflow and an inner layer with finer pores to trap smaller particles, offering comprehensive filtration.

Troubleshooting

Filter does not fit properly

Verify that you have selected the correct filter for your specific Yamaha model and year. Ensure no debris is obstructing the airbox mating surface.

Reduced engine performance after installation

Check if the filter is excessively dirty or if it has been over-oiled, which can restrict airflow. Clean and re-oil properly if needed.

Dirt found inside the airbox after a ride

Inspect the seal of the air filter and the airbox. Ensure the filter is seated correctly and the airbox cover is securely fastened. The filter may need cleaning or replacement if damaged.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Regularly clean the air filter after each ride or more frequently in dusty conditions. Use a dedicated foam filter cleaner and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.
  • Oiling: After cleaning and drying, re-oil the filter with a quality filter oil. Apply evenly and work the oil through the foam. Remove any excess oil; too much oil can restrict airflow.
  • Inspection: Inspect the filter for any tears or damage before each installation. Replace if any damage is found.
