It can have the 14-micron mat sold for dusty conditions, or this one at seven microns, drawn for the extreme end. Having both catalogued against a single motorcycle turns an abstract range into a real decision — and it is not made by working out which number is smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry special non-woven polyester with a filtration rating of 7 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirflow rated at 560 l\/m²\/sec, the lowest figure and the finest medium in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo oil when new and none applied after washing, at any point in its life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly double the filtering area of other performance elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlots into the unmodified series airbox where the original panel sat, without a remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaned and refitted for the life of the motorcycle, covered two years from purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere the line between them falls\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rated flows describe it better than the apertures do. The dust mat passes 1,800 l\/m²\/sec, this one 560, and the standard weave 5,050 — so the step from the standard element down to the dust mat gives away rather less than the step from the dust mat down to here. That second step is bought for air which does not settle: sustained loose ground, a group riding in company, powder and fine sand held in suspension for a whole day. The first step is bought for the dry fortnight and the unsealed verge. An Adventure whose years hold both kinds of riding is a real case for owning both elements, since swapping them is a lid and five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNine parts given away\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasured against the standard weave, this mat keeps roughly one litre in nine: 560 l\/m²\/sec where the cloth is rated at 5,050, the largest single step in the range and a deliberate one. Retention is bought with flow and no arrangement of materials gets both, so the strict end is not the good end — it is the end for dirty air. The missing flow would be noticed at a wide throttle held high in the range for a long stretch, which is not the state a laden Adventure occupies on a piste. And nothing here is a power part: the PM142T12 leaves a standard R 1200 GS Adventure exactly as strong as it was, breathing through a finer barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compressor does most of it and the sink does the rest. A line held to the clean face and blown outwards sends the day's load back along the path it took getting in; whatever stays behind comes out in hand-warm water with a little mild detergent, rinsed until the water is clean. What follows has no shortcut. The element dries in moving air at its own pace, with no heat of any kind and no flame anywhere near it, and it does not return to the box until it is dry through. The PM142T12 goes back unoiled; the servicing sheet sits under Downloads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListed for the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure of 2014 to 2018, seated in the series airbox in place of the original panel. Three machines take this element: the two 1200-generation GS models and the R 1250 GS that followed them. All appear with their years in the Fitment tab.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprint Filter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53532807495946,"sku":"PM142T12","price":91.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/PM142T12_6366f1c5-6424-4b93-aac0-5f9ae6ebe852.png?v=1787206274","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ca\/products\/sprint-filter-t12-air-filter-bmw-r-1200-gs-adventure","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
