Sprint Filter P08 Air Filter for Yamaha YZF-R3 (2015-2026) PM44S

The Sprint Filter P08 PM44S is engineered from a premium polyester filter medium — a material refined through over 65 years of competition development in MotoGP, Moto3 and World Superbike — delivering measurably better airflow and superior filtration than a standard paper element. It is a direct-fit replacement for the Yamaha YZF-R3 covering all model years from 2015 to 2026, and it performs equally well on road and track.

Key Features

• Polyester filter medium with a 70-micron wire diameter filters contaminants down to 80 microns, providing class-leading air permeability without sacrificing engine protection.
• Optimised airflow geometry unlocks the full power potential of the YZF-R3 engine, responding particularly well to free-flowing exhausts or remapped fuelling.
• Near-maintenance-free design: clean with compressed air, refit and ride — no oiling, no messy cleaning kits required.
• Retains its structural integrity and filtration efficiency through repeated cleaning cycles, delivering years of reliable service.
• Pedigree materials backed by Sprint Filter's racing heritage across the premier classes of world motorcycle competition.

Build Quality and Materials

Sprint Filter's P08 filter medium is the foundation of this product's appeal. The woven polyester construction is dimensionally stable — it will not distort, collapse or degrade when exposed to heat cycles or intake turbulence. The 70-micron wire structure creates a consistent, uniform mesh that balances filtration efficiency against airflow restriction, a balance that paper elements struggle to maintain once they begin to load with dirt. The result is a filter that performs at its peak for far longer between service intervals, and one that can be returned to near-new condition with a blast of dry compressed air rather than a full strip-and-oil procedure.

On Road and on Track

For everyday road use on the YZF-R3, the P08 PM44S offers noticeably crisper throttle response through the mid-range and a more linear power delivery. On track, where air temperatures and intake demands are higher, the polyester medium maintains its flow characteristics without the progressive restriction that affects saturated paper filters. Whether the bike is running standard fuelling or has been set up for a performance exhaust and ECU map, the Sprint Filter P08 supports the engine's breathing needs throughout the rev range.

Fitment and Compatibility

This filter is a direct OEM-style replacement requiring no modification. It fits the following model:

• Yamaha YZF-R3 — all variants, model years 2015 to 2026
