Full details

This Twin Air filter is designed for Gas Gas TXT 125/270/320 models from 1997-1999, offering increased engine power through improved air circulation. Its multi-layer foam construction effectively catches dirt and sand while ensuring maximum air passage. A potential caveat is the need for specific cleaning and maintenance to preserve its performance. Key features include a slightly smaller-than-stock size for increased airbox volume, dual-layer foam for superior filtration, and a durable adhesive for longevity.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this Twin Air filter?

The primary benefit is improved engine performance through increased airflow, achieved by a slightly smaller-than-stock design that enhances air circulation within the airbox.

How often should I clean the air filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on riding conditions. For general use, inspect after every few rides. In very dusty or wet conditions, clean after each ride.

Can I use any cleaner to wash the filter?

It is recommended to use a dedicated Twin Air filter cleaner for best results and to preserve the foam integrity. Mild degreasers can be used cautiously, but avoid harsh solvents that can degrade the adhesive.

Do I need to oil the filter after cleaning?

Yes, after the filter is completely dry, it must be re-oiled with a specific filter oil to ensure proper dust retention and filtration.

What does 'greaseless sealing ring' mean?

It refers to the foam sealing ring itself, which is designed to create an airtight seal against the airbox without the need for separate grease. However, applying Twin Air filter grease to this ring is still recommended for optimal sealing and to act as a breathable gasket.

How do I know if the filter needs replacement?

Replace the filter if you notice any tears in the foam, separation of the foam layers, or damage to the sealing ring. Persistent clogging or a decrease in performance despite proper maintenance also indicates replacement is needed.

Is this filter suitable for street use?

This filter is primarily designed for off-road applications. While it enhances airflow, its effectiveness and durability for prolonged street use with varying airborne contaminants may differ from filters specifically designed for that purpose.

Troubleshooting

Reduced engine power after filter installation

Ensure the filter is correctly installed and the sealing ring is making full contact with the airbox. Check that no debris is obstructing airflow. Re-verify filter oiling is done correctly, not oversaturated.

Filter does not seal properly in the airbox

Confirm you have the correct filter model for your Gas Gas motorcycle. Ensure the airbox is clean and free of obstructions. Apply filter grease evenly around the sealing ring.

Filter clogs quickly

While designed to resist clogging, very dusty conditions may require more frequent cleaning. Ensure the outer foam layer is effectively catching debris; if not, check for proper filter oil application and integrity.

Foam elements separating

This is rare but indicates potential damage or excessive use of harsh chemicals during cleaning. Inspect the filter for tears. If separation is found, the filter should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves engine airflow for potential power gains.
  • Excellent filtration capabilities with dual-layer foam.
  • Durable construction that withstands repeated cleaning and harsh solvents.
  • Ensures a secure and effective seal with the airbox.
  • Reduces the filter's tendency to clog.

Cons

  • Requires regular cleaning and maintenance to maintain optimal performance.
  • May need specific cleaning agents recommended by Twin Air.
  • The smaller-than-stock size might require careful installation to ensure a perfect fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This Twin Air filter (MPN: 158055) is specifically designed for Gas Gas TXT 125, 270, and 320 models manufactured between 1997 and 1999. Ensure your motorcycle model and year match this specification before installation.

Setup:

  1. Carefully remove the old air filter from the airbox, noting its orientation.
  2. Clean the inside of the airbox thoroughly to remove any dust or debris.
  3. Apply a thin, even bead of Twin Air filter grease to the foam sealing ring of the new filter. This is crucial for creating an airtight seal.
  4. Install the new filter, ensuring it sits flush and securely within the airbox. Press firmly on the sealing ring to seat it properly.
  5. Reassemble the airbox cover.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each significant ride, or when the filter appears dirty, it should be cleaned. Use a dedicated Twin Air filter cleaner or a mild degreaser. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to air dry completely before re-oiling. Do not use high-pressure air or heat to dry the filter.
  • Oiling: Once dry, apply Twin Air filter oil evenly to the entire surface of the foam. Work the oil into the foam by gently squeezing the filter; do not twist. Ensure the entire surface is uniformly coated but not oversaturated.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the filter for any tears or damage to the foam or adhesive. Replace the filter if any damage is found.
