The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
One number covers three motorcycles here, and that has a consequence beyond simpler ordering. The single genuine inconvenience of a washable element is the wait: once it has been washed it has to dry in open air, and the machine stands still while it does. A garage holding more than one of these three keeps a single spare CM196P14 on a shelf and the wait disappears — the dry panel goes in, the wet one dries at its own pace, and the two change places at the next service.
Key Features
- Special non-woven, run dry, with 14 µm filtration
- 1,800 l/m²/sec rated flow: the fine end of what is listed for this housing
- No oil at any point, nothing to over-apply and nothing to migrate downstream
- About twice the filtering area of other performance elements, inside the standard airbox
- Direct replacement for the factory panel — no modification and no remapping
- Cleaned and reused, built to last the machine, two-year warranty
One shelf, three machines
The Continental GT 650, the Interceptor 650 and the Bear 650 are listed against the identical element, so a spare bought for one of them is a spare for all three. It is a small thing that changes a habit: a panel that can be exchanged in a few minutes and cleaned afterwards without hurry gets looked at more often than one whose cleaning costs a day off the road. Inspection is the entire maintenance regime for a filter like this, and anything that makes inspection easy is worth more than it sounds.
Why the fine medium at all
Because 14 µm is the finest of the three media listed for this housing, and because the price list files it under dusty conditions rather than under performance. The cost is printed on the same line: 1,800 l/m²/sec where the standard weave is rated 5,050. That is a trade and not a promotion, and its direction should be taken from the roads instead of from the order of the list. Neither medium adds power in any case — a drop-in filter does not make a standard 650 noticeably stronger, and this one is bought for what it keeps out.
Care and cleaning
Dry servicing, as with everything in this range. An air line on the clean side, worked outwards, lifts the load; because a non-woven fills through its depth, be patient with it rather than forceful. Greasy deposits come off with lukewarm water, a drop of mild detergent and a full rinse afterwards. Drying happens in still air at room temperature, and a hot-air gun or a flame would end the element on the spot. It goes back into the box untreated. The maintenance sheet is under Downloads.
