Air Filter

The role of the air filters is to clean air. Air filter filters foreign matter, grit and dust to protect pistons and cylinders from scratch hence protects carburetor from clogging. Engines require air to explode. After clean air comes from air filter, it goes to a carburetor and go to an engine with gasoline and air.
Dust captured in any air filter causes a gradual reduction in airflow over the working life of the part, resulting in a loss of engine performance and poor fuel consumption. Genuine Yamaha Air Filters are designed in such way, so as to filter the air in the most efficient way, whist maintaining their flow rate, when compared with many after-market air filters.
