That is worth thinking about before fitting a washable air filter, because it changes the paperwork. A replaced paper element leaves an invoice behind with a date and a mileage on it. A cleaned element leaves nothing at all. The Sprint Filter PM165P14 is a dry non-woven filter of 14 microns, made to be washed and put back for as long as the bike lasts — a better part and a worse record. The remedy is not complicated, but it is on the owner: write the date in the service book every time the airbox is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry non-woven medium, regenerated with compressed air — no oil anywhere in the process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 microns of filtration at 1,800 l\/m²\/sec of air flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable for the life of the bike instead of replaced at every service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoughly double the filtering surface of other performance filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement in the standard Z900RS airbox — no modification, no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo years of warranty from the date of purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe same engine, a different motorcycle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Z900RS shares this airbox with the Z900, and very little else about the two bikes lines up. One is a modern naked; the other is an homage to the Z1 of 1972, and it is usually ridden the way it looks — longer routes, smaller throttle openings, a pace chosen for the road rather than against it. That is precisely the use in which 14 microns cost nothing, because the flow the finer medium gives up sits above the part of the rev range this bike normally works in. It is only fair to add that the engine underneath does not know it is wearing 1972 bodywork. Ridden hard in the top third, the RS asks for the air the P08 gives: 80 microns and 5,050 l\/m²\/sec against 14 and 1,800. Finer means more retention and less flow — a trade with two directions, not a ranking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to write in the book\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDate and odometer at every clean is the minimum, and it is worth noting which element is fitted, because the next person to open this airbox will find a filter that does not match the description in the owner manual. An unfamiliar part with no history behind it tends to get thrown away and replaced, which is the one outcome this element was bought to avoid. Keep the invoice for the PM165P14 with the rest of the folder. On a motorcycle likely to change hands with its paperwork intact, that entry is the difference between a documented intake and one that merely looks odd.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlow it through with compressed air from the clean side outwards. When it needs more than that, lukewarm water and a mild detergent, rinsed until the water runs clear, then dried fully in air — never with heat and never over a flame — and refitted dry.
