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:
- Carefully remove the old air filter from the airbox, noting its orientation.
- Clean the inside of the airbox thoroughly to remove any dust or debris.
- 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.
- Install the new filter, ensuring it sits flush and securely within the airbox. Press firmly on the sealing ring to seat it properly.
- 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.
