Product Information

Full details

This Twin Air Air Filter is designed for KTM and Husqvarna off-road motorcycles, specifically models SX85 (2013-2017), SX/SXF (125-450, 2011-2015), and EXC/EXC-F (125-500, 2012-2016) with a 3-pin configuration. Its key benefit is improved engine performance through increased airflow and a reduced tendency to clog, leading to more power. A potential consideration is that its slightly smaller size than stock requires proper seating to ensure a complete seal.

FAQs

What models is this Twin Air filter compatible with?

This filter is compatible with KTM SX85 (2013-2017), SX/SXF (125-450, 2011-2015), and EXC/EXC-F (125-500, 2012-2016) motorcycles with a 3-pin airbox.

Why is the filter slightly smaller than stock?

The slightly smaller size is intentional to increase air space around the filter within the airbox, improving air circulation and leading to better engine performance.

How often should I clean this air filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on riding conditions. In dusty environments, inspect and clean after every ride. For cleaner conditions, cleaning may be needed less frequently, but regular inspection is always recommended.

Can I use gasoline to clean the filter?

While the adhesive is formulated to withstand gasoline, it is recommended to use dedicated Twin Air air filter cleaner or mild soap and water for optimal filter life and performance.

What is the purpose of the foam sealing ring?

The thick, flat foam sealing ring ensures a complete and airtight seal against the airbox, preventing unfiltered air from entering the engine. It also acts as a breathable gasket, allowing some air passage for optimal flow.

How does the dual-layer foam work?

The coarse outer foam layer traps larger dirt particles, while the finer inner foam layer captures smaller particles, ensuring maximum filtration while maintaining high airflow.

Does this filter require pre-oiling?

Yes, after cleaning and drying, the filter must be re-oiled with appropriate filter oil to ensure proper filtration and prevent small particles from passing through.

Troubleshooting

Filter does not seal properly.

Ensure the airbox rim is clean and free of debris. Apply an even bead of filter grease to the sealing ring. Press the filter firmly and evenly around the entire rim to seat it.

Reduced engine performance after installation.

Verify the filter is correctly installed and that the airbox is sealed. Check for any obstructions in the intake tract. Ensure the filter is clean and properly re-oiled if recently washed.

Filter tears during cleaning.

Use only dedicated air filter cleaner or mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive brushes or high-pressure washing. Handle the foam gently and allow it to air dry completely before re-oiling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases airflow to the engine.
  • Improves engine power and throttle response.
  • Durable construction withstands harsh conditions and cleaning.
  • Dual-layer filtration effectively traps various particle sizes.
  • Reduces the likelihood of the air filter clogging prematurely.

Cons
