Generally speaking, the new air filter has no peculiar smell, and the dirty air filter may emit some odors, such as oily smell, musty smell, etc. If you smell the air filter with obvious peculiar smell, it means that the air filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned or replaced in time.
In addition, you can tell if it is dirty by listening to the sound of the air filter. During the driving of the motorcycle, if the air filter is dirty, it will make some abnormal noises, such as humming, crunching, etc. If you hear obvious noise from the air filter, it means that the air filter is dirty and needs to be cleaned or replaced in time.
The above three methods are to judge whether the air filter is dirty by observing, smelling and hearing, but the most direct method is to remove the air filter for cleaning. After removing the air filter, it can be washed in clean water while gently brushing with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and impurities from the surface. If the air filter is still dirty after cleaning, it means that a new air filter needs to be replaced. When installing a new air filter, you need to pay attention to the following points: 1. Select the same air filter as the original model to ensure that it can be installed correctly; 2. Install the air filter in place to ensure that it is fastened and does not leak; 3.
