Notable Features: 2010 GAS GAS TXT-PRO-250

Step-by-Step Cleaning & Replacement Instructions
-
Access the Air Filter:
- Remove the seat using the quick-release pin or mounting bolts, depending on your TXT-PRO-250's configuration.
- Open the airbox cover by loosening the retaining screws. Lift the cover clear to expose the filter element.
-
Remove the Filter Element:
- Gently extract the air filter. Take care not to let dust or particles fall into the intake tract.
-
Inspect – Clean – Replace:
- Inspection: Look for tears, excessive dirt, oil saturation, or deformation. Replace the filter if damaged.
- Cleaning: For regular foam filters, submerge in a dedicated air filter cleaner or mild dish soap solution. Gently squeeze—never wring—to remove dirt. Rinse until water runs clear, then let it dry completely.
- Oiling: Apply specialized foam filter oil evenly until the filter is moist but not dripping. This traps fine dust for additional engine protection.
- Replacement: If cleaning does not restore the filter or any damage is found, install a new filter. Always opt for OEM-spec or high-quality aftermarket options for trials reliability.
-
Reinstallation:
- Ensure the filter is properly seated in the airbox. Check that the sealing surface is clean and no debris compromises the seal.
- Replace the airbox cover and seat, securing each with correct hardware.
