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.
