How do I clean and maintain this BMC air filter?

This BMC air filter is washable and can be regenerated. You'll need to use the appropriate BMC regeneration kit to clean and re-oil it properly. This allows for repeated use over the life of your motorcycle.

What is the difference between this Race filter and a standard BMC filter?

While both BMC filters offer improved airflow and filtration over stock, the 'Race' designation typically indicates a design optimized for maximum airflow, which can be beneficial for performance-oriented riding or track use. The filtration level is still very high, capturing particles down to 7 microns.

Does this air filter come with everything needed for installation?

The BMC Race Air Filter is designed as a direct replacement for your stock filter and comes pre-oiled and ready to install. No additional hardware is typically required for installation, but always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific procedures.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1997-1998 Honda CBR 1100 XX Black Bird, especially if you're using it for track days or spirited riding, a high-flow air filter can make a notable difference. This BMC Race Air Filter is built to let your engine breathe easier than the stock paper filter.

BMC uses a multi-layered cotton gauze material that's soaked in a light oil. This setup is designed to trap impurities down to 7 microns, which is even finer than what most stock filters can handle. The filter is then covered with an epoxy-coated alloy mesh, giving it solid protection against fuel fumes and moisture. Because it's made using a single mold, you don't have to worry about weak points from welded joints. This filter is pre-oiled and ready to go, and it can be cleaned and reused with a BMC regeneration kit, making it a long-term option.
