What is a Motorcycle Air Cleaner Kit?
A motorcycle air cleaner kit serves two purposes:
- It provides the motorcycle engine with sufficient air to enable combustion that powers the bike; the more air pumped into the engine, the more power to the motorcycle wheels
- Traps impurities that can damage the engine and keep the engine running smoothly at the highest performance
What’s important about air cleaners and the air filters they contain is that they provide both quantity and quality. If it were just a matter of pumping as much air as possible to the engine, you wouldn’t need an air filter. The problem is the air is dirty. Clean air burns better, which means better performance and better fuel efficiency. It also keeps out pollutant dirt and debris that can actually damage the engine.
The best-designed air cleaners use air filters to keep dirt and debris out of your bike’s motor while allowing as much air in as possible to ensure high performance.
