Product Code: EAAM |
AMSOIL has
brought Nanofiber technology to the motorcycle market. AMSOIL Ea
Motorcycle Air Filters hold 15 times more dust than a wet gauze type
filter. Their nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than
traditional cellulose filters and 50 times more dust than wet gauze.

Nanofiber
Basics
Because the
nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filter media are so small,
there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher
dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop compared to
traditional filter medias. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform
pore size distribution, improving the filter's overall ability to
capture and retain particles. |

Air
Filtration Basics
An engine
requires air for combustion, but the air drawn in through the
induction system is loaded with contaminants. There are over 400
tons of suspended dirt and other contaminants in a cubic mile of air
over a typical city. The concentration can be even higher in rural
areas where there is frequent travel on unpaved roads. The dirt and
contaminants drawn into an engine from the air are the leading
causes of engine wear.
The function
of the air filter is to trap and hold these wear causing
contaminants without restricting air flow. As the filter traps more
and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted, smothering the
engine and diminishing performance. The more wear causing
contaminants a filtration media traps and holds, while still
allowing optimum air flow, the better the filtration media.
The nanofiber
technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters surpasses all other technology
in efficiency, capacity and service life. With AMSOIL Ea Air
Filters, dust and submicron particles remain on the surface and are
trapped in the nanofibers, preventing particles from lodging in the
filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and higher
capacity, extending engine and filter life and reducing engine wear. |

Ea
Motorcycle Air Filters
The filtration
media in the Ea Motorcycle Air Filter is pleated and has
epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional
strength and stiffness. High quality plastisol potting compounds
bond the pleat packs to the plastic or aluminum side plates. The S&S
(aftermarket engine and carburetor manufacturer) style round filters
are manufactured with high-quality plastisol that bonds the media to
the wire backing and sealing area. |

Superior
Filtration
The synthetic
nanofiber media featured in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters have
sub-micron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces, resulting in more
contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower
restriction. Cellulose, wetted gauze and foam filters have larger
spaces between the media that cause contaminants to load in the
depth of the filter, resulting in airflow path plugging, higher
restriction and lower capacity. |

Cleanable
for Long Service Life
AMSOIL Ea
Motorcycle Air Filters are cleanable, providing unsurpassed
protection and long service life. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
should be cleaned every year or according to operating conditions.
Operation in extremely dusty or dirty environments may require more
frequent cleaning. Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be changed every
four years. |

Cleaning
Instructions
AMSOIL Ea
Motorcycle Air Filters are cleaned in the same manner as AMSOIL Ea
Air Filters for cars and light trucks: with a vacuum or shop air. To
clean with a vacuum, place the filter on a flat surface and
carefully vacuum the filter media on the dirty side where the
incoming airflow enters the filter. To clean with shop air, hold the
filter with one hand and carefully blow the filter media at a
45-degree angle on the clean side of the filter using low-pressure
(15 to 20 psi) shop air. Using too much air pressure will damage the
filter media. |
