Setup and Installation
Installing the Maxima Racing USA AFR-5007-01 Air Filter is a straightforward process. Always refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific instructions regarding air box access and filter removal/installation for your model.
- Preparation: Ensure your motorcycle is turned off and cool. Gather any necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, socket wrench) to access the air box.
- Access Air Box: Locate and open the air box cover on your motorcycle. This typically involves removing a few screws or clips.
- Remove Old Filter: Carefully remove the old air filter. Be mindful of any dirt or debris that might fall into the air intake. Inspect the air box for cleanliness and clean if necessary.
- Inspect New Filter: The Maxima AFR-5007-01 filter comes pre-oiled. Inspect it for any damage or inconsistencies before installation.
- Install New Filter: Position the new Maxima air filter correctly within the air box. Ensure it seats snugly and forms a complete seal around the intake opening. Improper seating can lead to unfiltered air entering the engine.
- Secure Air Box: Reattach the air box cover and secure all screws or clips. Double-check that the cover is properly sealed.
- Dispose of Old Filter: Dispose of the old air filter responsibly according to local regulations.
Note: The included disposable gloves are for your convenience during handling to keep hands clean from the pre-oiled filter.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your air filter is essential for engine health and performance. The Maxima AFR-5007-01 is designed to be washable and reusable.
Cleaning Procedure:
- Remove Filter: Follow the "Setup and Installation" steps in reverse to remove the air filter from your motorcycle.
- Pre-Clean: Gently tap the filter to remove loose dirt and debris.
- Wash: Use a dedicated foam air filter cleaner (e.g., Maxima Air Filter Cleaner) to thoroughly clean the filter. Follow the cleaner's instructions for best results. Ensure all dirt and old oil are removed.
- Rinse: Rinse the filter with clean water until the water runs clear.
- Dry: Allow the filter to air dry completely. Do not use compressed air or heat, as this can damage the foam.
- Re-Oil: Once completely dry, re-oil the filter with a high-quality foam air filter oil (e.g., Maxima FFT Filter Oil). Apply the oil evenly to all surfaces of the foam, ensuring complete saturation. Gently squeeze out any excess oil.
- Reinstall: Reinstall the freshly cleaned and oiled filter following the "Setup and Installation" steps.
Frequency: The frequency of cleaning depends on riding conditions. In dusty or off-road environments, more frequent cleaning will be necessary. Inspect your filter regularly and clean it when it appears visibly dirty or clogged.
