Sprint Filter P08 Air Filter for Road & Track – Yamaha T-150 (2015–2026) PM186S

The Sprint Filter catalogue is not organised by the name on the tank. It is organised by airbox, and one part number, PM186S, is listed against six model names at once: the Yamaha T-150, Exciter, Jupiter MX, MX King, Sniper MXi and Y15ZR/LC150, every one of them a 150 cc machine built between 2015 and 2026. The element does not change with the name on the side panel, and neither does the honest account of what it does: it holds intake resistance low, and more usefully it holds it steady between services instead of letting it climb quietly as a paper element loads up.

Key Features

• Woven P08 polyester, used dry — no oil goes in, so no oil can travel downstream
• Filtration at 80 microns; airflow of 5,050 litres per square metre per second
• Roughly twice the filtering surface of other performance filters
• The standard airbox takes it as it is: nothing modified, no remap, homologation untouched
• Washable and reusable, with compressed air as the routine service
• Warranty runs two years from the date of purchase

Order by the part, not by the name

Take the original element out, look at the shape and at the frame it sits in, and hold it against the fitment list for PM186S before ordering. The Sprint Filter element is dimensioned to drop into that same standard housing without spacers, adaptors or trimming, and nothing else on the intake side is touched — which is why the change asks for no remap and leaves the homologation of the motorcycle exactly as it was.

What the medium is, and what the numbers describe

The P08 is a single layer of woven polyester, spun from threads of 22 microns and upwards, and it is used dry. It filters at 80 microns and flows 5,050 litres per square metre per second, and those two figures belong together: a finer weave holds back more and passes less. Sprint Filter's own comparison measured the dry P08 retaining 93.13 per cent of 100-micron test particles, against 76.42 per cent for a four-layer oiled cotton filter. Where the air is harder work there are finer media — the water-repellent P037 at 37 microns, the P14 at 14, the T12 at 7 — and every step down costs flow, the P14 passing 1,800 litres per square metre per second against the P08's 5,050. That is a trade to make deliberately, not a ladder to climb.

Care and cleaning

Compressed air, aimed at the clean side and worked outwards, is the routine service for the PM186S. What the air leaves behind comes off in lukewarm water with a mild detergent; keep rinsing until the water runs clear. Drying then happens in open air and nowhere else — no heat, no flame — and the element goes back in dry. Nothing is applied afterwards, because the polyester was never oiled in the first place.

Fitment & Compatibility

Made for the Yamaha T-150, 2015 to 2026, and a direct replacement in the standard airbox. The same PM186S element is listed for six model names across that period; the full list is in the Fitment tab.
