The P08 F1-85 is unusual because it openly moves in two directions: it flows 15,000 l\/m²\/sec against the 5,050 of the standard P08, and it filters to 85 microns instead of 80. That second number is a step backwards, and it is deliberate. Racing accepts coarser filtration because a race engine is opened on a schedule measured in hours, not in years — the wear that a slightly coarser weave allows is wear that gets inspected long before it matters. On a Honda CB400F that is only a sensible bargain if the bike is maintained that way. The CM220S F1-85 is a competition part, and it should be bought as one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt 15,000 l\/m²\/sec the P08 F1-85 medium passes roughly three times what the standard P08 does\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiltration at 85 microns: a coarser weave than the road medium, and deliberately so\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester, dry, never oiled — nothing that could migrate onto a sensor or a throttle body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround twice the filtering area of other performance elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstalls in the standard airbox with no modification and no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable; compressed air from the clean side is the whole of the service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFiltration is what you are spending\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSprint Filter's own comparison figures put the standard P08 at 93.13 percent retention of 100 micron particles and the F1-85 at 95.22 percent — but the media are measured at their own apertures, and the F1-85's is the wider one. In a race context that is a rational trade: the air on a swept circuit is comparatively clean, the sessions are short, and the engine is stripped often enough that nothing accumulates unseen. On a road-ridden CB400F covering thousands of kilometres between services, the same trade is being made without any of the maintenance that justifies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat it will and will not change\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitting the CM220S F1-85 does not add power to a standard 399 cc twin. A stock engine is not limited by its air filter, and the extra flow sits unused behind a standard airbox, standard throttle bodies and standard mapping. The medium starts to matter at the end of a chain — when intake, exhaust and mapping have already been opened up and the engine is genuinely asking for everything the intake can deliver. Bought for a standard road bike, this element is an expensive way to filter slightly less well. Bought for a machine that races, it is the right part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOil never touches it and heat never dries it — those two are constant. The cleaning itself is a compressor: air from the clean side, worked outwards, and the CM220S F1-85 refitted dry. Where a weekend has left more than air will lift, lukewarm water with a mild detergent does it, rinsed until the water runs clear and then dried right through in the open, well away from any flame.
