Maintaining peak engine performance on your 2024 GAS GAS MC85BW demands regular attention to its air filter. This guide from MotoSport covers proprietary best practices specific to your model, ensuring durability and engine longevity with every ride.
Features Unique to the 2024 GAS GAS MC85BW
- Twin Air filter with fail-proof mounting system for fast, tool-free access and replacement by simply removing the left side panel–all engineered for quick trackside maintenance.
- Revised airbox improves airflow and better protects the filter from dust and debris, crucial for maintaining new low to mid-range power and torque improvements made this year.
- Ergonomic side panels are slimmer, allowing easier movement around the bike, which helps when handling the air filter in service routines.
- Brand-new bodywork and tighter sealing around the airbox protect the engine filtration system, essential for high-performance motocross environments.
Cleaning the Air Filter
-
Remove the left side panel by following the quick-release process – no tools required.
Carefully take out the Twin Air filter from the mounting system. Note its orientation for proper reinstall. -
Inspect the filter for heavy dirt, dust, or damage. If torn, proceed to replacement.
If salvageable, tap off loose debris before servicing. - Wash the filter in a proprietary air filter cleaning solution. Rinse until no debris remains. Do not wring out the filter harshly as this may degrade filtration material. Let the filter dry completely.
- Re-oil the filter with a high-quality foam air filter oil. Ensure thorough coverage but avoid excessive saturation, which can restrict airflow.
- Wipe down the airbox with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid allowing water or cleaning solvents to enter the airboot or carburetor area.
Replacing the Air Filter
-
Confirm the replacement filter matches the Twin Air specification unique to the MC85BW.
Lightly oil the new filter before installation. - Install the filter lining up the mounting tab with the airbox. The fail-proof design ensures a correct fit – press firmly but do not force to avoid damaging seals.
- Replace the left side panel securely; check panel fit to ensure a dust-tight seal before riding.
Model-Specific Owner Notes
- The MC85BW airbox is newly designed for 2024; filters from previous years may not fit properly. Always use the correct filter for optimal engine protection & performance.
- Enhanced airflow increases torque in low and mid RPM. Routine filter service is crucial to maximize these performance upgrades and maintain reliability.
- Tool-free access means you can inspect and clean your filter more often. MotoSport recommends doing so after every dusty or muddy ride for best results.
Recommended Service Intervals
- Inspect the filter after every 2–3 hours of riding or immediately following heavy dust conditions.
- Replace the filter if damaged, excessively worn, or after every third cleaning cycle.
Routine attention to the air filter on your MC85BW protects the powerful, revised engine and ensures you keep enjoying top-tier performance lap after lap. MotoSport's proprietary service recommendations keep you riding longer–with confidence.
