The 2025 GAS GAS MC250 delivers impressive power and reliability, thanks in part to its redesigned one-piece air intake system.

Regular cleaning and replacement are critical for protecting your engine and sustaining peak performance.

What Makes the 2025 MC250 Air Filter Unique?

  • One-piece air intake design–enhances airflow and increases engine power output.
  • Uses a Twin Air dual-stage filter: a coarse outer layer traps grit and sand, while a fine inner layer captures the smallest dirt particles for superior filtration.
  • Tool-free removal–no tools needed for fast, easy filter access and maintenance.

When to Clean or Replace the Air Filter

  • After every ride in dusty or sandy environments.
  • Every 5-10 hours of regular riding, or sooner if conditions are extreme.
  • Whenever you notice visible dirt or a reduction in engine performance.

How to Clean the Air Filter

  1. Remove the seat to access the airbox (no tools required for the MC250).
  2. Carefully detach the air filter. Inspect the sealing ring for a tight fit; replace if damaged.
  3. Place a clean, damp rag inside the intake to keep debris out during cleaning.
  4. Wash the filter in an air filter-specific cleaner or mild soapy water. Never use gasoline or harsh chemicals–these can damage the foam.
  5. Rinse thoroughly, gently squeeze out excess water (do not twist aggressively), and let it air dry completely.
  6. Once dry, apply a high-quality foam filter oil. Work the oil into the foam to ensure even coverage, then squeeze out any excess.
  7. Reinstall the filter, confirming correct placement for an airtight seal. Remove the rag from the intake first.
  8. Reattach the seat and check for a secure fit.

When & How to Replace the Air Filter

  • Replace after multiple cleanings, if the foam shows signs of wear, tears, or the sealing surface is compromised.
  • Opt for a Twin Air or equivalent dual-stage foam filter for the MC250 for best fit and performance.
  • Install following the same steps listed above (beginning with removal of the old filter).
