Ea Motorcycle Air Filters (EaAM)
AMSOIL has brought
Nanofiber technology to the motorcycle market. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle
Air Filters hold 15 times more dust than a wet gauze type filter. Their
nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose
filters and 50 times more dust than wet gauze.
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.
