The R, the RS and the RT use the very same airbox — the standard element is listed for every one of them — yet the extreme medium was drawn for the GS models alone. Nothing physical stands behind that division. It is Sprint Filter saying, by leaving names out, that seven microns is a decision about ground rather than about a motorcycle, and that the ground it has in mind is not tarmac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester special non-woven, run dry, filtering down to 7 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 560 l\/m²\/sec, the strictest specification Sprint Filter publishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOil-free in every state, so nothing can be lifted off it and laid down further in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround twice the filtering surface of an ordinary performance element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes the paper panel's place in the series airbox, with nothing cut and no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegenerated with compressed air rather than replaced, with two years of guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat a short list is saying\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA medium this strict is aimed at air that stays a suspension of dust for hours together: a dry piste in high summer, a graded road with a plume standing over it, a track four other machines have already crossed. Those are conditions a GS gets bought for and its road-going relatives do not. If your own R 1200 GS spends its year on sealed surfaces with a gravel car park at the end of the day, the fitment list has still put you here, but the standard weave is the better balance for that riding and choosing it is no kind of compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne part in nine\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure to look at before ordering is the flow. A rated 5,050 l\/m²\/sec through the standard cloth becomes 560 through this mat — about one part in nine kept, and the widest gap between any two media in the whole Sprint Filter range. That is what pays for the retention, since the two always move against each other, and it is charged continuously rather than beyond some threshold. None of it is a power decision in either direction: the PM142T12 leaves a standard R 1200 GS exactly as strong as it was, and no element fitted inside a series airbox has ever done otherwise. It is bought for what the air is carrying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrequent cleaning is part of the specification here rather than an afterthought. Compressed air on the side facing the engine, driven outwards, brings the mat back towards the resistance it started from; a stage that has loaded it beyond what air will lift is finished with hand-warm water and a mild detergent, rinsed until the water stops colouring. Then air-drying alone and completely — no radiator, no oven, no flame at any point — before it is refitted dry and unoiled. The servicing sheet is available in the Downloads tab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for the BMW R 1200 GS built from 2013 to 2018, in the standard airbox with nothing modified. Three machines share this part number, all of them GS models across the 1200 and 1250 boxers; the Fitment tab names each with its years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sprint Filter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53532807463178,"sku":"PM142T12","price":56.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/PM142T12.png?v=1787206274","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-kw\/products\/sprint-filter-t12-air-filter-bmw-r-1200-gs","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
