AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
AMSOIL INC.
revolutionized the filtration industry with its introduction
of AMSOIL Ea Air and Ea Oil Filters. For the first
time exclusive nanofiber technology the same
technology used in the Abrams M1 tank and other heavy
duty applications was made available for automotive
applications. Now, AMSOIL has made this outstanding
new technology available for motorcycles.
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 filters 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.
Superior Alternative
AMSOIL is producing an initial offering
of eight Ea Motorcycle Air Filters manufactured for
the most popular Harley Davidson models from the years
1988 to 2006, including motorcycles equipped with
S&S carburetors and air cleaner housings.
