The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Most Z1000SX on the road now are on their second or third owner, and a viewing tells you very little about the intake. Tyres, chain, brake discs and fork seals are all visible; a service book records what was paid for, not what was done well. The airbox is the part nobody opens before handing over the money. Fitting a Sprint Filter P08 PM111S closes that gap in a single afternoon: a known element, at a known restriction, from a known starting point — and from then on the intake is something the owner can inspect and restore themselves rather than something they have to take on trust.
Key Features
- The one service item you can inspect and restore yourself: washable, reusable, cleaned with compressed air
- Never oiled at any point, so nothing can find its way downstream onto sensors or throttle bodies
- Roughly double the filtering surface that other performance filters offer
- Polyester thread from ø 22 microns, held to a calibrated aperture by the weave and not by pressed pulp
- A direct replacement in the standard airbox — nothing modified, nothing remapped, homologation untouched
- Two years of warranty from the date it was bought
The one service item you can verify yourself
A neglected paper element does not announce itself. It does not misfire, it does not light a warning lamp, and it will pass an inspection that consists of looking at the outside of the motorcycle. It simply raises the pressure the engine has to pull against, gradually, in a way that is easy to mistake for the bike having always been like that. Opening the airbox once and putting a clean, washable element in it converts an unknown into a routine — after that, holding it up to a light is the whole inspection.
What a sport-tourer collects
These bikes are used for the job they were sold for: motorway miles, luggage, commuting, weekends away. That is a diet of fine road dust and rubber particulate at high flow rates, and it loads a filter faster than the odometer suggests. The P08 answers that with roughly double the filtering surface of other performance filters, so the same amount of dirt is spread over more medium before it starts to matter, and with a service that is compressed air rather than a new part every time.
Care and cleaning
Holding it up to a light is the inspection; compressed air from the clean side, blown outwards, is the service. For a deeper clean, wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, rinse until the water runs clear and dry it fully in open air — never with heat, never with a flame. It goes back in dry, unoiled.

Fitment & Compatibility
Made for the Kawasaki Z1000SX, 2017 to 2019. The same PM111S element covers twelve machines built around this airbox, including the 2011–2013 Z1000SX and Z1000SX ABS; the complete list is in the Fitment tab.
