BMC Air Filter: Ref. 159/01

The factory paper filter does the job, but once you've tried a washable cotton filter, it's hard to go back. The BMC ref. 159/01, made from multi-ply oiled cotton gauze, flows more air than paper while still trapping particles effectively. The result: better throttle response, an engine that breathes better, and no more buying disposable filters.

Key Features

  • Washable and reusable: unlimited service life with regular cleaning
  • Higher airflow than the stock paper filter
  • Direct fit: no modification required, plug-and-play replacement
  • Efficient filtration: multi-ply oiled cotton gauze
  • Warranty: 2 years

Filter Maintenance

Cleaning recommended every 15,000 to 20,000 km with the BMC maintenance kit (cleaner + re-oiling oil, sold separately). After washing, let it air dry, then re-oil before reinstalling.
