The 2019 Sherco 300SEFFAC stands out for its performance and reliability on a variety of terrain, but keeping the air filter in top condition is essential for maintaining its winning edge. Regular air filter cleaning – or timely replacement – preserves engine performance, improves throttle response, and extends the engine life by blocking dust and debris. This comprehensive guide, made exclusively for MotoSport riders, focuses on proper air filter care for your specific dirt bike.
What Owners Should Know About the 2019 Sherco 300SEFFAC
- Factory Models: The 300SEFFAC uses a factory-spec air filter with a flame retardant design, compatible with leading aftermarket brands such as Twin Air and UNI.
- Dual-stage Filters: Your bike's recommended setup uses a dual-stage foam air filter, optimized for Western and enduro riding conditions and built for high airflow while trapping fine dust particles.
- Quick Swap Airbox: The 2019 300SEFFAC features a quick-access airbox design, making filter removal and installation faster and simpler – ideal for both trackside and garage maintenance.
Cleaning Your Air Filter: Step-by-Step MotoSport Method
- Remove the Seat and Filter: Use the seat latch release to access the airbox. Gently pull the filter away from its mounting post, being careful not to drop any debris into the intake tract.
- Inspect the Air Filter: Look for rips, over-compression, or dried-out foam. Any damage means it's time to replace the filter, not clean it.
- Pre-Clean: Tap the filter gently or use compressed air (from the clean side out) to dislodge loose dirt. Never use high pressure as it can tear the foam.
- Soak and Wash: Submerge the filter in a designated filter cleaner or mild dish soap solution. Work the cleaner throughout to dissolve oil and contaminants. Rinse with cool water until the water runs clear.
- Dry Thoroughly: Allow the filter to air dry – do not use a heat source or wring out the filter, which can damage the foam. Ensure it is completely dry before oiling.
- Apply Filter Oil: Saturate the filter with high-quality, foam-specific air filter oil. Massage the oil through, ensuring complete but not excessive coverage, especially around the sealing rim.
- Reinstall Properly: Check the sealing surface on the airbox and clean if needed. Refit the air filter, securing it snugly to prevent leaks. Double-check the fitment of the mounting post or clip.
When to Replace the Air Filter
- Replace if the foam is torn, the seams are separating, or the filter no longer holds oil evenly.
- If deep or fine dust has bypassed the filter or contaminated the filter seal, replace it immediately.
- Adopt more frequent replacements if riding in highly dusty or wet conditions.
MotoSport Pro Tips for Sherco 300SEFFAC Air Filter Care
- Keep a spare, pre-oiled air filter ready in a zippered bag for quick swaps during multi-day rides or races.
- Check the airbox for any dust accumulation and wipe clean each time you service or change the filter.
- Only use foam filter-specific oil for best performance and engine protection.
- Inspect the filter cage and gasket for wear. Replace these components if they fail to provide a tight seal or appear damaged.
