- Grease (for sealing rim)
Step-by-Step Guide
- Preparation: Place your ES350F securely on a stand. Turn off the ignition. Ensure the work area is clean to prevent contamination.
- Seat & Air Box Cover Removal:
- Remove the seat by releasing the quick-release fastener at the rear of the seat, then pull the seat rearwards. – GAS GAS designs the ES350F seat for quick, tool-free removal.
- Open and remove the air filter box cover by disengaging the clip or latch at the front. Place the cover in a clean area.
- Air Filter Removal:
- Disengage the filter cage and gently pull the air filter out. Take care not to knock dirt into the air boot.
- Inspect the air boot and intake for any debris; wipe clean with a rag if needed.
- Cleaning the Filter:
- Apply foam air filter cleaner and gently massage out the dirt. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Repeat until the filter is free of oil and debris. Allow to dry completely. – Never use gasoline or harsh solvents, as they degrade the filter foam and glue.
- Oiling the Filter:
- Once the filter is dry, evenly coat it with air filter oil inside and out. Massage gently to ensure complete coverage but avoid over-saturating.
- Wipe excess oil and allow the filter to set for several minutes.
- Reinstalling the Air Filter:
- Lightly grease the sealing flange on the filter to ensure a dirt-proof seal with the airbox.
- Mount the filter on the cage and secure in the airbox, ensuring the edge mates properly to the sealing surface.
- Reinstall the airbox cover and confirm the seal is complete.
- Re-fit the seat and check for proper engagement.
Replacement Interval & Model-Specific Tips
- How often? GAS GAS recommends checking the filter after every ride in dusty conditions and cleaning or replacing as necessary. At minimum, service the air filter every 10 hours of operation for trail riding. – More often for harsh or wet environments.
- 2024 ES350F Note: The updated 2024 ES350F features a high-flow intake system. Always secure the filter cage and cover completely—improper installation can allow dust to bypass the filter and reach the engine.
- OEM or Aftermarket? If the original foam filter appears worn, torn, or misshapen after cleaning, replace it immediately with an OEM-quality filter for the best fit and protection.
