Motorcycle Air Filter

If one were to view a motorcycle cylinder like a lung, then motorcycle air filters make a whole lot of sense. You’re relying on contaminant-free air to mix with gasoline and enter the combustion chamber, where the big bangs take place. It’s up to the air filter on your motorcycle to keep out foreign particles, which can quickly contribute to premature wear and permanent engine damage. When you get right down to it, these are simple foam or paper elements tasked with a rather important job. So, if you’re on the hunt for an air cleaner that’s going to keep mechanical components happy, Cycle Gear can help.

Our selection of motorcycle air filters and air cleaners come from all the leading aftermarket brands, including Arlen Ness, K&N, No Toil, Uni Filter and more. The style you choose to run can either be dictated by the way your bike was built or by personal preference. Pod filters generally clamp on to the end of a carburetor, are often universal and offer a way to eliminate weight -- not to mention, the air box. Air cleaners are a highly visible and purposely placed component and V-twins, so you're better off with a high-performance part in this case. No matter your preference, replacing your motorcycle air filter is an important part of regular maintenance and a DIY must. Be sure to include oil filters in any such upkeep task and your engine will be ready for thousands more miles.
