Description
BMC Air Filter: 2000-2006 Kawasaki ZX-12R
BMC air filters for bikes guarantee superior air capacity in respect to traditional paper filters enabling minimum loss of power in the air flow and therefore obtaining better performance from the engine. The cotton gauze BMC uses has larger links, allowing a better air flow, but using several layers of oil soaked cotton allows to block any impurity larger than 7 microns.
BMC filters in the Race version take the classical increase in air flow rate offered by BMC products to a more extreme level. By reducing the cotton layers from 4 to 3 , the flow of air is even greater. This is the reason why the Race filters are recommended exclusively for sports use on the track, since the increase in the air flow rate may weaken the carburation (more air flowing in than is necessary) or the injection (the control unit may not be able to correctly manage the new stoichiometric ratio). To bypass this problem, it may be necessary to reconfigure the control unit, thus obtaining a significant increased in performance. Race filters are identified by the caption “race” at the bottom of the product code, and by a yellow line on the filtering element.

- Higher air flow than OEM filter for maximum power
- 4 layers of filtration(Street Version)/3 layers of filtration(Race Version)
- Endorsed by Yoshimura
