Unique Features of the 2024 GAS GAS EC450F Air Filter System

Step-by-Step Cleaning & Replacement Instructions

  1. Remove the Seat
    Quickly unbolt or unlatch the seat to gain access to the airbox area.
  2. Remove Air Filter Box Cover
    Lift off the air filter box cover directly from the top of the airbox. Accessible design on the 2024 EC450F means no wrenches or screwdrivers are required.
  3. Remove the Air Filter
    Gently pull out the air filter & its support frame. Carefully detach the foam filter from the frame to prevent dirt from falling into the intake tract.
  4. Inspect the Air Filter
    Examine the foam for tears, deterioration, or excessive dirt. Replace if damaged. Otherwise, proceed with cleaning.
  5. Clean the Filter
    • Soak the filter in a dedicated air filter cleaning solution or warm soapy water. Massage gently until debris and oil are removed.
    • Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
    • Squeeze water out gently, without twisting, to avoid damaging the foam. Allow it to air dry completely.
  6. Re-Oil the Filter
    • Evenly apply high-quality foam air filter oil. Ensure full but not excessive saturation–the oil traps fine particles and protects your engine.
    • Work the oil through the foam, removing any large pools or dry spots.
  7. Clean the Airbox
    Wipe out the airbox with a damp rag, keeping debris away from the intake opening.
  8. Reinstall Air Filter
    Attach the clean, oiled filter back to its support frame. Insert the assembly into the airbox, ensuring a complete seal around the edge for proper filtration.
  9. Replace Air Filter Box Cover & Seat
    Snap the air filter cover back on and reinstall the seat.

How Often to Clean or Replace Your Filter

  • Clean your filter after every ride in dusty, sandy, or muddy conditions.
  • For lighter trail use, check the filter every 3 – 4 rides at minimum.
  • Replace the air filter if the foam is torn, excessively dirty, or no longer forms a proper seal.
