It fits the same airbox in the same outline as the standard element, so it can go in the evening before a route turns to dust and come out again once the bike is home. Planned that way, the finest medium in Sprint Filter's range does its work exactly where it is needed and costs nothing anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry polyester special nonwoven rated at 7 µm, the finest medium Sprint Filter makes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e560 l\/m²\/sec of rated flow, a deliberate trade for retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade for extreme conditions: dusty trails, desert tracks, riding behind other bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits the series airbox of the X-Cape 650 directly, with no modification and no remap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry in use and never oiled; cleaned with compressed air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-year warranty, designed to last the life of the motorcycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitted for the stage, not for the year\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn adventure trip is rarely dusty from start to finish. The motorway to the start, the passes and the towns are ordinary road air, and there the T12's low flow is a cost with no return. The dusty stage is where the 7-micron mat earns its place: fine particles that would pass a coarser weave stay in the airbox instead of reaching the engine. Because the X-Cape 650 takes either element in the same housing, the sensible plan is to swap for that stage. The T12 will not make a standard X-Cape any stronger; it is protection, priced at about three quarters of the standard element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it is the wrong choice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your X-Cape 650 never leaves paved roads, or only for a few kilometres of farm track, the T12 is the wrong element. Its 560 l\/m²\/sec is roughly a ninth of the P08's 5,050, and finer filtering also means the mat fills sooner, so it asks for more frequent cleaning. The standard P08, SM297S, is the element for road riding and mixed use. Finer is not a ranking here; it is a different job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSM297T12 needs cleaning more often than the standard element, simply because it catches more. Blow compressed air through the mat from the engine side outwards, working over the whole surface. A heavy load comes out in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, followed by a clear rinse. Dry it at room temperature in moving air, never by heat or flame, and fit it back dry and untreated. If you swap between two elements, store the one not in use clean and wrapped.
