Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Compatibility:
This BMC air filter is designed as a direct replacement for the original filter in specified Ducati models. Ensure your motorcycle's airbox configuration matches the FM324/19 part number for a perfect fit. Installation typically involves opening the airbox, removing the old filter, and inserting the new BMC filter, ensuring it seals correctly.
Care Instructions:
To maintain optimal performance and filtration, regular cleaning and re-oiling are essential. Follow these steps:
- Remove the Filter: Carefully detach the air filter from the airbox.
- Clean: Use BMC's dedicated cleaning solution and cold water. Spray the cleaner onto the filter, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly from the inside out.
- Dry: Allow the filter to air dry completely. Do NOT use compressed air or heat, as this can damage the cotton material.
- Oil: Once dry, apply BMC's specific oil evenly along the peaks of the filter. Ensure the oil saturates the cotton but does not touch the metal parts or the rubber gasket.
- Reinstall: Once the oil has settled (refer to BMC's specific instructions, usually a few hours), reinstall the filter into the airbox, ensuring a proper seal.
