What Happens If You Don't Change the Motorcycle Air Filter?

[DelHailey]

The consequences of not changing the motorcycle air filter are: Increased fuel mixture ratio: The intake vacuum of the carburetor will change, leading to excessive fuel intake and a richer fuel mixture ratio. Damage to components: Unfiltered air contains impurities that can damage the engine's precision components. Air purity also affects the fuel mixture ratio, impacting vehicle performance. Severe power loss: The engine will experience significant power loss, difficulty accelerating, and increased fuel consumption. Types of air filters: Motorcycle air filters come in two types: dry and wet. Dry paper filters cannot be cleaned and must be replaced if excessively dirty or allowing dust to pass through. Wet foam filters can be cleaned with non-flammable detergents, but avoid using gasoline-based liquids as they may cause the filter to expand and lose its filtering effectiveness.
