DescriptionThe whole story▼
When you are tuning your Suzuki GSX-R 600/750 for the track — reworking the ECU, fitting an aftermarket exhaust, chasing every last horsepower — the air filter is the one component that can unlock or strangle the gains you have already paid for. The BMC FM628/04RACE Race air filter is engineered precisely for that scenario: a direct OEM-format replacement that flows significantly more air than the standard filter while maintaining full engine protection, making it the natural choice for any seriously modified GSX-R 600 or 750 from 2011 to 2017.
Key Features
- Race-spec filter medium delivers a measurably higher airflow rate than the stock filter, allowing a tuned engine to breathe freely and realise the full potential of ECU and exhaust modifications.
- Retains OEM dimensions and housing geometry for a direct drop-in installation — no airbox modifications required, no fabrication, no specialist tools.
- High-efficiency multi-layer filtration construction keeps harmful particulates out of the engine even when airflow is maximised, protecting internals on both road and track.
- Optimised for use alongside engine tuning, ECU remapping and aftermarket exhaust systems — the filter is developed with racing application as the primary brief, not an afterthought.
- Distinctive yellow stripe identifies the filter at a glance as a BMC Race unit, a useful visual confirmation during paddock prep and airbox checks.
- Reusable and cleanable with the correct BMC maintenance kit, giving a lower long-term cost than repeated OEM replacements.
Race-Bred Engineering
BMC developed the Race filter range using direct knowledge from competition environments where airflow restriction costs lap time. The FM628/04RACE uses a specially developed filter medium — distinct from the material in BMC's road-oriented filters — that is calibrated to reduce intake restriction to a minimum. The result is an improvement in mid-range and top-end power delivery that becomes especially apparent when the engine has been tuned beyond standard mapping. For a GSX-R 600 or 750 running a full exhaust system and a custom or flashed ECU, this filter completes the intake-to-exhaust package rather than leaving a bottleneck at the airbox.
Road & Track Versatility
Although the FM628/04RACE is developed with racing performance as its primary objective, the filter remains entirely practical for road use on a modified GSX-R. The filtration efficiency is not compromised by the higher flow rate — BMC's construction methods ensure the engine is protected from dust and debris in all conditions. Riders who use the same machine for track days and road miles benefit from a single filter that handles both environments without compromise or the need to swap components between sessions.
Fitment & Compatibility
The BMC FM628/04RACE is designed as a direct replacement for the standard air filter on the following Suzuki models:
- Suzuki GSX-R 600 — model years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
- Suzuki GSX-R 750 — model years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017
The filter matches the OEM airbox housing exactly. Always confirm your specific model year and airbox variant before fitting.
