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.
