Where is the Air Filter on an Underbone Motorcycle?
1 Answers
The air filter on an underbone motorcycle is located inside the fairing beneath the front of the bike. Air Filter Construction: Most underbone motorcycles use a wet-type filter element, which is the sponge you remove. The air filter has an intake pipe and an outlet pipe. The intake pipe is connected to an intake box, which is linked to the hollow engine mount. Function of the Air Filter: It reduces the amount of dust in the air entering the intake box, ensuring the cleanliness of the air that passes from the intake box into the air filter. It filters out dust and sand particles from the air, guaranteeing that sufficient and clean air enters the cylinder. Replacing the Air Filter: If the filter element is dirty, it can be cleaned with laundry detergent or dish soap, then dried. Apply a small amount of engine oil on the intake side to enhance dust filtration. Never clean the sponge with gasoline, as it will expand, reduce in density, and lose its filtering effectiveness.
