Bmc FM178/07 Air filterRef : BMC00044A / 1097359

The BMC FM178/07 air filter provides a reliable solution for the air intake of demanding roadsters. Designed by BMC, a recognized specialist in filtration elements, this replaceable component focuses on longevity and engine air cleanliness — ideal for the Yamaha YZF 1000 R Thunderace (2000/2001) and the FZR 1000 listed in compatibility.

• Monobloc construction without a weakening gasket for enhanced mechanical stability.
• Special cotton filter media soaked in low-viscosity oil to capture particles while facilitating airflow.
• High-strength epoxy mesh resistant to gasoline vapors and oxidation, to maintain its shape and effectiveness.
• Washable and reusable cotton filter: maintenance possible with BMC maintenance products.
• Optimized airflow to reduce losses related to the intake circuit compared to traditional paper filters.

The performance of a cotton filter relies on four criteria:

• Permeability — limit intake resistance to preserve engine responsiveness.
• Filtration — prevent foreign bodies from entering the engine.
• Retention — keep captured particles within the filter matrix.
• Reusability — possibility of cleaning and reusing for repeated use.
