Ea
Motorcycle Air Filters
AMSOIL INC. revolutionized the filtration industry
with its introduction of AMSOIL Ea Air and Ea Oil Filters. For the first
time exclusive nanofiber technology – the same technology used in the
Abrams M1 tank and other heavy duty applications – was made available
for automotive applications. Now, AMSOIL has made this outstanding new
technology available for motorcycles.

Nanofiber Basics
Because the nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filter media are so
small, there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher
dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop compared to traditional
filter medias. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size
distribution, improving the filter’s overall ability to capture and
retain particles.
Air Filtration Basics
An engine requires air for combustion, but the air drawn in through the
induction system is loaded with contaminants. There are over 400 tons of
suspended dirt and other contaminants in a cubic mile of air over a
typical city. The concentration can be even higher in rural areas where
there is frequent travel on unpaved roads. The dirt and contaminants
drawn into an engine from the air are the leading causes of engine wear.
The function of the air filter is to trap and hold
these wear causing contaminants without restricting air flow. As the
filter traps more and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted,
smothering the engine and diminishing performance. The more wear causing
contaminants a filtration media traps and holds, while still allowing
optimum air flow, the better the filtration media.
The nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters
surpasses all other technology in efficiency, capacity and service life.
With AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, dust and submicron particles remain on the
surface and are trapped in the nanofibers, preventing particles from
lodging in the filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and
higher capacity, extending engine and filter life and reducing engine
wear.
Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
The filtration media in the Ea Motorcycle Air Filter is pleated and has
epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional
strength and stiffness. High quality plastisol potting compounds bond
the pleat packs to the plastic or aluminum side plates. The S&S
(aftermarket engine and carburetor manufacturer) style round filters are
manufactured with high-quality plastisol that bonds the media to the
wire backing and sealing area.
Superior Filtration
The synthetic nanofiber media featured in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air
Filters have sub-micron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces,
resulting in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the
media and lower restriction. Cellulose, wetted gauze and foam filters
have larger spaces between the media that cause contaminants to load in
the depth of the filter, resulting in airflow path plugging, higher
restriction and lower capacity.
Cleanable for Long Service Life
AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleanable, providing unsurpassed
protection and long service life. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
should be cleaned every year or according to operating conditions.
Operation in extremely dusty or dirty environments may require more
frequent cleaning. Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be changed every
four years.
Cleaning Instructions
AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleaned in the same manner as
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters for cars and light trucks: with a vacuum or shop
air. To clean with a vacuum, place the filter on a flat surface and
carefully vacuum the filter media on the dirty side where the incoming
airflow enters the filter. To clean with shop air, hold the filter with
one hand and carefully blow the filter media at a 45-degree angle on the
clean side of the filter using low-pressure (15 to 20 psi) shop air.
Using too much air pressure will damage the filter media.
Superior Alternative
AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of eight Ea Motorcycle Air
Filters manufactured for the most popular Harley Davidson models from
the years 1988 to 2006, including motorcycles equipped with S&S
carburetors and air cleaner housings.
