Key Details for the 2024 Yamaha TTR125L Air Filter

- Replacement filters are readily available and often washable, extending their service life through routine cleaning.
- For optimal sealing, the air filter seats against a thick, flat foam ring to guard against any air leaks.
When to Clean or Replace the Air Filter
- Clean your TTR125L air filter after every major ride or every 10 hours of use, especially if you've been riding in dusty or sandy conditions.
- Replace the filter if you notice any tears, hardened foam, permanent staining, or if the filter no longer seals well after cleaning.
How to Remove, Clean, and Reinstall the Air Filter
- Remove the seat using the side bolts to access the air box.
- Open the air box cover. Loosen the filter retaining bolt and carefully remove the air filter, noting its orientation.
- Inspect the filter for tears or deterioration. If damaged, replace with a new dual-layer foam filter made for 2024 TTR125L applications.
- Wash the filter in a bucket of warm water and mild, air filter-specific cleaner or a gentle soap. Gently squeeze (do not twist or wring) to prevent damage.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and repeat cleaning if needed. Allow to air dry fully away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Oil the filter evenly with dirt bike air filter oil, working it carefully into all foam pores for maximum protection. Blot excess oil with a clean rag.
- Reinstall the filter with proper orientation, ensuring the flat foam seal sits flush with the air box. Tighten the retaining bolt and close the air box cover securely.
- Reinstall the seat and ensure all fasteners are snug.
