[🏍 Usage & Maintenance Tips]
- Installation: After removing the stock filter, install the KT-1217 in the same orientation and position. For proper sealing, clean the sealing surface and gasket area before installation.
- Initial break-in: After installing a new filter, perform light riding at low RPMs to allow the filter and airflow system to settle in, contributing to stable long-term performance.
- Cleaning interval: Depends on mileage and environment (dirt roads, rain, etc.), but regular inspection and cleaning are recommended. When dust and dirt become noticeable, wash with a dedicated cleaner and re-oil after drying.
- Watch out for air leaks: If the sealing area is loose or damaged, untreated air may enter and harm the engine. Always check for leaks after installation.
