Motorcycle air filters are an essential component of a bike's engine system that help to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. Air filters prevent debris, dirt, and other contaminants from entering the engine, which can lead to engine damage, reduced performance, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Regular maintenance of your motorcycle air filter is important to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. It is recommended to clean and re-oil a foam filter every 5,000 miles or so, and to replace a paper filter every 10,000 miles (check manufacturer's recommendations as your bike may be different). However, if you frequently ride in dusty or dirty conditions, you may need to clean and replace your filter more frequently.
