Maintenance of motorcycle air filter

The air filter is the respiratory system of motorcycles. If the air filter is blocked by dust, the intake resistance will increase, which will reduce the engine's output power, increase fuel consumption, and make it difficult to start and easy to shut down the engine. In severe cases, dust entering the cylinder block will exacerbate the wear and tear of engine components. To clean the air filter, follow the following steps:
Remove the air filter element from the vehicle;
If the filter element is sponge foam, it can be carefully cleaned with neutral detergent. Do not twist it hard. After cleaning, dry the water, drop 2-3 drops of engine oil (to absorb the extremely fine dust in the air), hold it well with your hand, and replace it as it is; If it is a paper filter element, it must not be cleaned with liquid. Internal dust can be forcefully knocked, and if possible, compressed gas can be used to blow in the opposite direction of the air intake (never reverse it, otherwise blowing dust into the pores of the paper core will cause more serious blockage); Example: The QS150T paper core blows from the inside outwards, while the Storm Crown Prince blows from the outer circle towards the middle hole.
When reinstalling the filter element, pay attention to the installation direction and intake direction;
When driving in dusty and dirty environments, the cleaning frequency should be increased. If a sponge is broken or a paper filter element is soaked, a new one should be replaced immediately, otherwise it may damage the engine or emit black smoke.
Maintenance of oil filter element
Most users know that they should change the oil on time, but they need to master one principle:
The engine oil has been replaced with a new one, and it is not possible to replace the filter element. During the lubrication process of the engine, the oil pump sucks the oil out of the bottom groove and first presses it into the oil filter to filter. The filtered clean oil is then transported to the cylinder head, crankshaft, and transmission parts. If the filter element is too dirty, the filtering effect of the engine oil is poor, the output of the engine oil decreases, and various parts do not receive good lubrication, which can cause excessive wear. Therefore, only changing the engine oil is not feasible, and the engine oil filter element must also be replaced at the same time.
