The facts.
DescriptionThe whole story▼
Everything about the extreme cloth arrives twice on this machine. The CRF1100L breathes through a pair of airboxes, so it takes two elements, and each of them is rated at 7 µm and 560 l/m²/sec against the 80 µm and 5,050 of the standard weave for the same housings. Two elements to buy, two to remove, two to wash, and — the part that catches people out on a trip — two that have to be completely dry before the bike moves again. PM204T12 is a sound choice for the right air, but it is a doubled decision rather than a single one.
Key Features
- Two elements per machine, one for each airbox; the specification applies to both
- 7 µm filtration at a rated 560 l/m²/sec — the tightest cloth in the Sprint Filter range
- Dry polyester nonwoven for suspended mineral dust, sand and unsurfaced ground
- Never oiled, so no film can be drawn along the intake onto a sensor
- About twice the working area of a conventional performance element, per side
- Both standard housings take it unaltered; washable, two-year guarantee from purchase
The logistics nobody plans for
Cleaning is straightforward; drying is what costs a day. A dense mat holds water, and it must not be forced dry — no heat source of any kind, which rules out every quick method available on the road. On a machine with one element that is an evening. On this one it is two evenings-worth of the same wait, in parallel, and the bike is not going anywhere until both are ready. This is the practical argument for carrying a second pair on a long dusty route rather than a single spare.
Where this cloth earns its place
The T12 is specified by the air, not by the registration document. It belongs where dust is a standing condition rather than an event — sand, desert tracks, ground where what passes a looser weave is measured in engine life. On most European adventure routes the dirt arrives wet rather than airborne, and a dense mat is the least happy of the range with a wet load; there the standard PM204S at 80 µm, or the finer PM204P14 at 14 µm and 1,800 l/m²/sec, sit at the more useful end of the same trade. More retention always costs flow. No element makes a standard Africa Twin stronger, and this one deliberately gives flow away — twice.
Care and cleaning
Service both elements together so the pair stays in step. Compressed air on the clean face, blowing outward, lifts most of the load; where it does not, wash PM204T12 in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and rinse until the water runs clear. Then leave them alone in still air. No hairdryer, no exhaust, no flame, and nothing goes back into a housing damp or treated with anything.

Fitment & Compatibility
PM204T12 is listed for the Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin and Adventure Sports from 2020 to 2026, and that machine takes two elements. Both sides use the same part, so there is nothing to keep apart — only a quantity to get right. Check your build year against the compatibility list on this page before ordering.
