That is the point of an adventure bike with a screen and heated grips: it goes out in February. February, in most of Europe, means a road surface treated with salt, spray thrown up by everything ahead of you, and air that never quite dries out between one ride and the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry polyester medium — never oiled, so there is nothing to wash out and nothing to re-apply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoven polyester threads from 22 micrometres, not pressed paper fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround twice the filtering surface of other performance air filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement in the standard airbox — no modification, no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashable and reusable, designed by Sprint Filter to last the life of the motorcycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-year warranty from the date of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat winter does to a paper element\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaper is cellulose, and cellulose absorbs water. A filter that has taken up moisture swells at the pleat folds, and the swelling closes the very apertures the element is measured by; when it dries it does not return to the shape it started with. Add road salt to the moisture and the process is quicker. None of this shows up as a warning light. It shows up as an engine that pulls slightly less willingly in March than it did in October, which most riders put down to the weather. The P08 PM155S is woven polyester. It gets wet, it dries, and its aperture is the same afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSalt, and the argument against oiled filters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe alternative to paper is usually an oiled cotton gauze, and winter is precisely where that choice goes wrong. Oil and salt spray make a paste; the paste raises restriction faster than a clean element would ever load up, and oil carried downstream settles on the hot-film sensor, where a film reads as less air than is actually passing. The P08 has no oil in it and never has. Cleaning is compressed air from the clean side, or lukewarm water and a mild detergent when the season has been particularly unkind — then air-dried and refitted dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlow it through from the clean side with compressed air, working outwards. For a deeper clean, wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, rinse until the water runs clear, and let it dry fully in air — never with heat, never with a flame. Refit it dry; there is no oiling step and never has been.
