How to Clean a Motorcycle Air Filter?
1 Answers
Motorcycle air filters come in two types: dry and wet. Below are the specific cleaning methods: 1. Dry air filter: The paper filter element of a dry filter cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if it is too dirty or allows dust to pass through; 2. Wet air filter: The sponge foam filter element of a wet filter can be cleaned using a non-flammable detergent. Here is some related information about air filters: 1. Function: The air filter's role is to filter moisture, dust, and tiny particles from the air entering the carburetor and cylinder, thereby reducing wear on the moving parts inside the cylinder. 2. Impact: If the air filter is not cleaned for a long time, the filter pores can become clogged, affecting the air intake, leading to reduced power, increased fuel consumption, and some small impurities may be forced into the engine, accelerating wear on the cylinder's moving parts and shortening the engine's lifespan.
