Motorcycle Air Filters for Yamaha PW80

Air filters are an essential component in the performance of your Yamaha. They help keep unwanted particles from harming your motorcycles function. Whether you are searching for off-roading parts or parts for road bikes, there are a variety of PW80 filters to choose from.

What are air filters, and what do they do?

These parts are used in motorcycles and are designed to keep unwanted particles, dust, and dirt from going into your Yamahas combustion chamber. They are used in most motorized vehicles to keep airflow to the engine clean and open. Without the proper filtration, harmful chemicals could affect the performance of your Yamahas engine.

These parts are essential in Yamaha motorcycles because of its small motor and its exposure to the elements. Many parts of your Yamaha PW80 are also designed to be reusable and washable.

What are the different types available for bikes?

There are three main categories of motorcycle filters, which are primarily determined by the material from which they are made. The type you have can also be determined by which Yamaha bike you have and how you use your bike. These three categories include the following:

  • Paper: These are the only type that is not considered reusable or cleanable. These filters are made of thin, light paper that works well when they are freshly installed. Many Yamaha street-bikes come stocked with this type.
  • Foam: This type of filter is made of dense foam. They are washable and reusable. The denseness of this type is particularly made for off-road bikes that ride in dirty environments because it allows less airflow through the material. This density inhibits the flow of harmful chemicals as well.
  • Cotton: This type of can be cleaned and reused more than any other type. They can be washed and reused for up to thousands of miles and can outlast your Yamaha PW80. Cotton or fabric models can also be used on almost any type of motorcycle.
What kind of maintenance do these Yamaha parts require?

Like other scheduled maintenance parts for your Yamaha bike, the components in your Yamaha PW80 must be either changed or cleaned regularly to ensure performance. The required time you should change or clean your air filters is determined by both the type of part you have and the type of motorcycle you have. In general, you should change or clean your filters every 15,000-30,000 miles or after you have changed your oil. For Yamaha off-roading bikes, the filters may need to be cleaned or replaced more often.

Paper air filters should be replaced in your Yamaha motorcycles when they get dirty. Other types of filters for the PW80, however, can be cleaned or washed. Foam and cotton models can be taken off, washed with filter-specific products, and then washed with soap and water. After completely dried, they may be placed back on your Yamaha PW80.
