Welcome to Enduro Skills, our how to section will show you what's involved and recommend the right products for the application.
The air filter is a crucial part of any dirt bike. Air filters capture dust particles and keeps them from getting pulled into the cylinder while you're riding. It's an issue for these two reasons. First reason, dust and dirt particles will create extra wear on the internals of the engine, like the pistons and piston rings. Second reason, a clogged air filter does not allow enough air into the engine and will have a sluggish feel. Luckily maintaining it is a pretty easy task and with this simple tutorial, just about anyone can do it. Should take between 5 and 15 minutes once you have all the tools and materials ready.
First Step: Get all the materials you need to change the air filter
Dirt Bike Owner’s or Service Manual
Ratchet with 10mm socket or a 10mm wrench
New Air filter
Clean Rags
Dish Soap
Air filter oil (if you air filter needs it)
Brake cleaner or contact cleaner (optional)
Second Step: Take off the seat
1) Find the airbox on the dirt bike. Most dirtbikes have an airbox under the seat.
2) Take off the two bolts at the rear that hold the seat in place.
3) Gently lift up on the back of the seat about 2" then pull the sear towards the rear of the bike, being careful not to damage the part that clips into the gas tank.
Third Step: Clean the Airbox
1) Wipe the dirt out the airbox using a clean rag and b.
2) Wait a bit for the airbox to dry.
Fourth Step: Remove the Old Air Filter
1) Remove the wingnut holding the air filter in place.
2) Remove the air filter, you will need to turn it 45 to 90 degrees to pull it out of the dirt bike frame.
3) Separate the foam air filter from the air filter cage carefully not to gamage or tear the foam. Also don't damage the cage or you'll have an improper seal and that can damage the engine by letting dust in.
Fifth Step: Install the New Filter
1) Apply air filter oil of your choice to the new air filter. Some do come pre oiled and you can skip this step if you purchased a pre oiled filter.
2) Install the new air filter over the air filter cage being careful not to tear the foam. Damage to the foam will allow dirt and dust in and lead to damage to the engine.
3) Place the new air filter assembly into the air box the same way you removed it, if there's a notch in the filter make sure it's pointing to 12 o'clock.
4) Tighten up the wingnut holding the air filter assembly pressed against the air boot.
5) Place the seat back on the bike.
Sixth Step: Clean the Old Filter
If there's still some life left in the old air filter, you can clean it and reuse it. You don't have to replace you dirt bike air filter every time it gets dirty. If you are reusing the air filter you should check for any damage to the foam and discard it if you find any cuts, tears or damage.
1) Pour some dish soap on the old air filter.
2) Wet the air filter.
3) Repeatedly squeeze the air filter, making sure you get a good lather.
4) Rinse out the air filter with clean water.
5) Squeeze the water out and give the filter time to dry.
6) Spread air filter oil of your choice on the clean and dry air filter and work it in until it's nice and evenly spread all over.
Seventh Step: You're all set, now repeat every time you ride!
Now that you've learned how to change the air filter on your dirt bike... I would recommend you clean your dirt bike's air filter whenever it gets dirty, in most cases that's after riding. Once you can no longer service your air filter, it needs to be replaced. Maintaining your air filter is essential to the lifespan and performance of your dirt bike's engine. By regularly doing this, you will get better engine performance with less wear and tear to your engine. A simple task like this can save you a ton of money in repair bills down the road.

Good video man!!!!
Thanks man, we're working on an entire line of dirt bike tutorials, if there's anything you'd like to see let me know :D
Great job
Thank you, glad you found the air filter change helpful :D
I'm afraid to check the air filter on my bike lol Good helpful video man 👍👍

Like 2 !! ;-)) Great video very useful !! ;-))
Thanks brother! glad you enjoyed it :D
Do I need to grease the outter ring of the air filter?
Yes !
How do you remove air box? Seems to be riveted in place...
If you find out, please share. I also want to know.....
Yea dude, looks like we have to completely strip and remove the subframe.
Aaarghh! What a bitch......
what kind of oil did u use
Whatever is cheaper, most important thing is frequent cleaning. I prefer the liquid ones where you dip the filter into the bag of oil then squeeze filter off since they seem to last longer than aerosol cans and also don't need aerosol.
hello sir, I got your CZcams share invite thing that allows us to share videos with each other. but I mean this in the nicest way possible. you don't have content on your channel that interests me. sorry sir
+Patrick Barrett No worries brother :) we realize this channel doesn't have a lot of content yet but we're working on a whole bunch of how to videos and reviews to help viewers out. Hopefully you stumble across us down the road once we have more content. Thanks for your time and honest imput :D
How tf my bikes filter is stuck in there and yours falls right out
Heyy Bro you have to angle it to get it out. It's a pretty tight spot
Why type of oil do I use
A 10w40 grade oil that is wet clutch compatible. The 10w40 oil that's for cars has friction modifiers in it that will cause clutch slippage. I use amsoil because I feel it provides the best protection but there's many good brands out there like motul but at the end of the day any 10w40 motorcycle oil will do the job. Frequent oil changes are key since there's not much oil in the crankcase by design.
Lol oops, just noticed it's the air filter video. I'm using belray foam filter oil now but any foam filter oil will do. Important part is to not overcoat the filter. The spray stuff is pretty thin but the oil is tacky so with that I'll pour some in a ziploc bag and work it around the bag and then put the filter in and work it into the foam. Make sure it's evenly coated and squeeze any excess oil out.
Why add oil on it?
All sponge type air filters need to be oiled in order for them to properly catch the small dust particles that would otherwise pass through a dry sponge. Acts like the sticky traps would with flies. The knn and paper filters are a fine material that work without having to oil them.
superb bike i wish i could have that
i just started a music channel, come and please have a look if you want.
+NoCopyrightAudio's NCA Thanks man! We're always looking for new music for our videos :D
i own a 2021 kx 450 , my air box is a lot easier to get to i can say ...
Music not needed on instructional videos especially loudly.
You can make your own instructional video without music if you'd like, youtube is an open platform afterall.
Was just a suggestion, I guess the amount of subs says it all
