Proprietary MotoSport Air Filter Cleaning – Replacement Process

  1. Preparation: Place your 300SEFFAC on a stand. Remove the seat by releasing its fastener. Locate and remove the filter cage bolt to access the filter in the air box.
  2. Removal: Gently pull out the air filter and its supporting cage assembly. Inspect the foam for tears, dirt saturation, or excessive oil.
  3. Inspection: If minor dust is visible, a clean is sufficient. If the foam is degraded or torn, replacement is necessary.
  4. Cleaning:
    • Pre-clean by tapping off loose debris.
    • Submerge the filter in an approved foam filter cleaner or a mild solvent. Gently massage but never twist or wring the foam to avoid damage.
    • Rinse with warm water until free of contaminants and cleaner residue.
    • Squeeze out excess water (do not wring), then allow to air dry completely.
  5. Oiling:
    • Once dried, apply high-quality foam filter oilcoating evenly throughout the foam, working oil into all pores for consistent coverage.
    • Gently squeeze out excess oil (avoid wringing), ensuring a uniform light film throughout.
  6. Reinstallation:
    • Inspect and clean the air box, ensuring no dirt falls into the intake tract.
    • Refit the foam onto the filter cage, confirming a tight seal along the filter's flange.
    • Mount the assembly onto the air box, secure with the retaining bolt, and reinstall the seat.

Replacement Recommendations

  • Carry a spare pre-oiled filter for fast swaps on multi-day rides or races.
