When Should You Service the Air Filter?

  • After every ride in dusty or wet conditions

  • Immediately if you notice any drop in power, rough idling, or visible debris on the filter foam

How to Access the Air Filter on the 2022 GAS GAS EC350F

  1. Remove the seat: Release the rear seat latch (located under the rear fender lip) and lift the seat from the bike.
  2. You will see the air filter cage inside the airbox, behind the side panels.
  3. Carefully unclip the filter cage by turning the center knob or clip and drawing the entire filter and cage assembly straight out.

Cleaning the Air Filter

  • Remove the filter from the plastic cage. Inspect the cage for any damagereplace if cracked.
  • Gently tap the filter to remove loose debris and dirt.
  • Wash the filter with a purpose-made air filter cleaner or a mild detergent in warm water. Work the cleaner through the foam; avoid twisting or wringing the filter, which can tear the foam and compromise sealing.
  • Rinse thoroughly with clean water until all detergent or cleaner is removed.
  • Allow the filter to air-dry completely. Do not use compressed air or heat sources, as these can damage the foam elements.

Oiling the Air Filter

  • Once dry, fully saturate the filter with high-quality foam air filter oil. Squeeze (do not wring) the oil through the foam so all pores are evenly coated but the filter is not dripping excess oil.
  • Install the filter back onto the cleaned cage, ensuring a snug fit and that all sealing edges are intact.
  • Lightly grease the rim of the filter to ensure a dustproof seal against the airbox.

Reinstallation and Inspection

  1. Carefully reinstall the air filter and cage assembly into the airbox. Ensure the filter is seated squarely and the clip or knob is fully locked.
  2. Visually inspect the inside of the airbox for dust or debrisclean if needed.
  3. Reinstall the seat, ensuring it latches securely.
