How Often Should a Motorcycle Air Filter Be Cleaned?

[LaAshlyn]

The frequency of cleaning a motorcycle's air filter depends on the type of vehicle and the cleanliness of the environment. Below are specific details on air filter cleaning intervals: 1. For standard motorcycles: Generally, for standard and underbone motorcycles, unless the air is very dusty, it's sufficient to inspect and clean the filter every 5,000 kilometers or so. 2. For scooters: If it's a scooter with a lower air intake, the filter should typically be inspected and cleaned every 2,000 kilometers. If the air filter shows signs of dust penetration, severe blockage, or loss of filtration effectiveness, it should be replaced with a new one. 3. Example: For instance, during the first inspection at 2,000 or 5,000 kilometers, if the air filter is quite dirty, the cleaning interval can be shortened accordingly. Conversely, if the air filter is still clean, the maintenance interval can be extended appropriately.
