A V-Strom 1050 is bought to be ridden a long way from the people who normally service it, and on a trip like that everything carried is a decision: a tyre repair kit, a set of levers, perhaps a spare filter and the tools to fit it. The Sprint Filter P08 PM253S takes one of those decisions away. It is a dry, washable polyester element for the standard airbox, and its service is an air line — something that exists at any tyre shop, most petrol stations and a good many campsites. Nothing to carry, nothing to order, nothing to throw away at the roadside. It is not a power part; a filter in a standard airbox never is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServiced with an air line — washable, reusable, never binned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e80 microns of filtration, and 5,050 litres per square metre per second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry polyester, never oiled: nothing can migrate onto the intake sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble the filtering surface of other performance filters, roughly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the standard airbox directly: no modification, no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo years of warranty, dated from the day of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eService you can do with what is already there\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeat off, airbox open, blow the element through from the inside outwards, look at it, put it back. It is a job measured in minutes and it needs nothing you would otherwise have packed. After a dusty stage you can do it the same evening rather than hoping the next scheduled service catches what that day did. Over a long trip the element stops being a spare you either brought or did not, and becomes something you simply look after as you go — which is a better fit for how far this bike takes people from a parts counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy oil is the wrong answer away from a workbench\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn oiled cotton gauze filter has its own procedure: a dedicated cleaner, fresh oil, and hours of drying before it can go back in. None of that belongs in a tank bag, and the oil itself sits as a film directly upstream of the throttle bodies and the air-flow sensor. The P08 is dry — single-layer woven polyester spun from threads of 22 microns and upwards. Sprint Filter measured 93.13 per cent retention of 100-micron particles for the dry P08 against 76.42 per cent for four-layer oiled cotton. Finer media exist for harder air, and each one trades flow for retention: P037 at 37 microns, P14 at 14, T12 at 7 and only 560 litres per square metre per second where the P08 passes 5,050.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNormal service is an air line, held to the clean side and blown outwards. When the PM253S wants more, wash it in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse until the water runs clear. It dries completely in open air — never with heat, never with a flame — and is refitted dry.

Four machines take this element: the V-Strom 1050 and the V-Strom 1050XT of the current generation, and the earlier V-Strom 1000 and 1000XT built up to 2019.
