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