Shop parts for a 2014 GAS GAS TXT-PRO-250 Dirt Bike.

Keeping the air filter clean in your 2014 GAS GAS TXT-PRO-250 is crucial for optimal engine performance and exceptional reliability during trials riding. This model uses a foam-type air filter specifically engineered for high-dust environments, common in off-road conditions.

Recommended Air Filter Maintenance Interval

  • Clean the air filter after every ride or race. For extremely dusty conditions, check and clean multiple times throughout the day.
  • Replace the filter if damaged or after excessive wear; a compromised filter can allow debris to enter the engine, causing severe damage.

Tools & Materials

  • New or clean foam air filter for 2014 GAS GAS TXT-PRO-250
  • Air filter cleaning solution (foam filter specific)
  • Bucket, clean water, clean lint-free rags
  • Air filter oil or spray (foam filter compatible)
  • Latex or nitrile gloves for protection
  • Socket wrench or screwdriver (if seat/panels require removal)

Step-by-Step: Removal, Cleaning – Replacement

  1. Access the Air Filter:
    Turn off the bike and allow it to cool. Remove the seat and the side panel as needed to reach the airbox. Take note of screw or bolt sizes and location for reinstallation.
  2. Remove the Air Filter:
    Carefully unclip or unscrew the airbox cover. Gently remove the air filter, taking care not to knock dust or debris into the intake.
    Inspect for tears or excessive dirt. If damaged, replace instead of cleaning.
  3. Clean the Filter:
    Place the dirty air filter in a bucket with air filter cleaning solution. Gently massage the filter; avoid twisting or wringing, which can tear the foam.
    Rinse thoroughly with clean water and repeat until all residues are gone. Squeeze out excess water and let air dry completely.
  4. Oil the Filter:
    Once dry, apply foam filter oil evenly, working it into all surfaces. Massage gently to distribute oil through the filter–do not over-oil as this can restrict airflow, but under-oiling reduces engine protection.
  5. Inspect Airbox & Reinstall:
    Wipe out the airbox while the filter is drying. Check for debris or moisture and ensure a clean, dry surface for the filter to seat.
  6. Reinstall the Filter:
    Place the freshly oiled filter into the airbox, ensuring an airtight fit all the way around. Reattach the airbox cover, seat, and any panels removed in reverse order.
  7. Final Check:
    Confirm the filter and cover are secure. Start the bike and let it idle briefly to check for abnormal intake noise or air leaks.

What Sets the 2014 GAS GAS TXT-PRO-250 Apart

  • This model features a lightweight, high-flow air intake system, which amplifies the need for regular filter maintenance.

Additional Tips for TXT-PRO-250 Owners
