This proprietary MotoSport guide covers step-by-step instructions unique to your MC350F’s air filter system, along with key model insights.
Key Model Features Affecting Air Filter Maintenance
- No-tools, quick-access airbox: The MC350F’s innovative airbox design enables fast, tool-free filter changes. This system uses precisely positioned air inlets for consistent airflow and can be serviced in minutes–ideal for regular maintenance intervals.
- Twin Air foam filter: Your bike is equipped with a high-performance Twin Air filter, shared among KTM, Husqvarna, and GAS GAS 125-450cc models (2022–2025). The robust foam profile ensures maximum filtration in tough conditions, a must for motocross applications.
- Ergonomic updates: The 2024 MC350F features all-new bodywork and side panels. Locating and removing the air filter-and-cover assembly remains straightforward due to the intuitive layout beneath the seat and side shroud.
Necessary Supplies
- MotoSport-recommended air filter cleaning solution
- Foam air filter oil (do not use petroleum or gasoline-based products–these damage the foam)
- Clean, lint-free rags
- Disposable gloves
- Replacement air filter (if damaged or excessively worn)
How to Remove the Air Filter
- Place the bike on a stable stand and ensure the engine is cool.
- Remove the seat (quick release levers or bolts, as specified in your MC350F).
- Take off the right side panel to access the airbox.
- Open the air filter box cover via tool-free latches.
- Carefully disengage the air filter from its mounting post, keeping the airbox opening covered to prevent debris from entering the intake.
Cleaning the Air Filter
- Gently tap or brush off any loose dirt before washing.
- Soak the filter in a designated cleaning solution. Squeeze (do not wring or twist) the filter multiple times until oil and contaminants are fully removed.
- Rinse thoroughly in clean water and repeat until no dirt remains.
- Allow the filter to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
Oiling the Air Filter
- Once the filter is fully dry, evenly apply high-quality foam filter oil.
- Massage the oil thoroughly into the foam, ensuring full coverage, especially around the sealing ring.
- Let the filter rest to allow oil penetration and excess to drip away.
Reinstallation
- Inspect the airbox for dust or sand. Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Insert the freshly oiled air filter, aligning it with the mounting post for a secure fit.
- Reattach the air filter box cover and side panel.
- Reinstall the seat.
Replacement Interval & Pro Tips
- Clean the air filter after every ride in dusty or sandy conditions, or at least every 2-3 rides under lighter use.
- Always inspect for rips, hardening, or poor sealing before reinstallation. Replace with a MotoSport-approved filter if needed.
- Never use gasoline or petroleum-based cleaners–these degrade the foam and reduce filter lifespan.
- The MC350F’s air filter system is designed for rapid, at-track maintenance–carry a spare, oiled filter for quick swaps during multi-moto days.
