Keeping the air filter in your 2014 GAS GAS TXT-Racing-250 clean and properly maintained is critical for engine performance, longevity, and reliability. The TXT-Racing-250 utilizes a Twin Air filter housed within a uniquely engineered, high-flow airbox. This component's structural, ergonomic, and protective roles make proper care essential for maintaining your bike's factory-level performance.

What Makes the 2014 GAS GAS TXT-Racing-250 Special?

  • Engineered for lightness, tipping the scales at just 66-68 kg (145-150 lbs), thanks to a chrome-moly frame and minimalist bodywork.
  • Features a one-bolt access airbox for extremely easy filter maintenance–a stand-out convenience unique to this model's patented airbox design.
  • Highly responsive air intake ensures consistently high engine efficiency, crucial in technical trials riding.

Air Filter Removal Steps

  1. Place your TXT-Racing-250 on a stable stand and ensure the engine is cool.
  2. Locate the airbox: It's integrated into the side of the frame, requiring the removal of a single accessible bolt for filter access.
  3. Unscrew the bolt and carefully detach the airbox cover.
  4. Gently pull out the Twin Air filter, making sure not to drop any debris into the intake tract.

Cleaning the Air Filter

  1. Tap the filter gently to dislodge loose dirt and debris away from the filter sealing side.
  2. Rinse the filter in a dedicated cleaning solvent designed for foam filters. Avoid gasoline or overly harsh cleaners to prevent damaging the foam structure.
  3. Wash with warm water and mild soap until thoroughly clean. Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Allow the filter to air dry completely–never use forceful heat as it can degrade the foam material.

Re-Oiling & Reinstallation

  1. Saturate the clean, dry filter with high-quality foam air filter oil. Massage oil through the foam for complete coverage without leaving dry spots.
  2. Wipe excess oil from the filter's sealing edge.
  3. Reinstall the filter, ensuring it sits flush and tight in its housing. Do not overtighten the access bolt–hand tight only.
  4. Inspect the airbox seal and cover to ensure a dust-tight fit before replacing the side cover and securing the bolt.

Replacement Guidelines

  • Replace the air filter if there are any tears, excessive staining, or the foam has lost its elasticity.
  • Routinely inspect the filter after every ride or every few rides in extremely dusty or wet conditions. Trials bikes like the TXT-Racing-250 perform in challenging terrain, so frequent checks are worthwhile for peak performance.

Model-Specific Tips

  • The 2014 TXT-Racing-250's patented airbox-air filter assembly is both a filtration and a minor load-bearing component; handle with care during removal and reinstallation to prevent compromising its performance.
  • Because the frame and air filter areas are so slim, always double-check that no debris is introduced into the intake tract when removing the filter.
