When To Replace The Air Filter: If your bike has suddenly started giving less mileage or the pickup is not the same as before, then do not panic. The reason for this could be not only petrol but also a small thing like air filter. Yes, to run the bike smoothly and powerfully, clean air is as important as good fuel.
What is the role of air filter in bike?
The job of the air filter is to clean the air coming from outside and send it to the engine. It prevents dust, dirt and small particles from entering the engine. When clean air reaches the engine, the balance of petrol and air becomes better. Due to this, the performance of the bike remains excellent and the mileage is also good.
How does a dirty air filter spoil the bike?
If the air filter becomes dirty or clogged, not enough air can reach the engine. This has a direct impact on the power and mileage of the bike. The fuel does not burn properly, which reduces the efficiency of the engine and spoils the riding experience.
Signs of air filter damage
There are many signs of air filter damage, which you can easily identify. As:
- bike mileage reduced
- pick-up dilution
- Slow response to accelerator
- strange engine noises
- Black smoke coming from silencer
If these signs are ignored, it can also damage the spark plugs and other engine parts. Riding a bike with a dirty filter for a long time causes dirt to accumulate inside the engine, which reduces its lifespan.
Which air filter is correct?
Nowadays, most bikes use paper air filters, which are considered better to be replaced rather than cleaned. At the same time, some old bikes have foam filters, which can be washed and reused. However, mere dusting or air cleaning is not completely effective, so replacing heavily soiled filters is the best option.
When should the air filter be changed?
Generally the air filter should be changed every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers. But if you ride a bike in areas with high dust or pollution, then get it checked every 5,000 kilometers. By changing the air filter at the right time, both the performance of the bike and the life of the engine remain better.
