MOTO MINDED AIR FILTER DEVICE

MOTO MINDED AFD BY: JIMMY LEWIS

ROOST - Simple - Prevents a hole from getting poked into the filter

ENDO - Tight fit with some aftermarket filters WHAT IT IS

Fitting current KTMs and Husqvarnas, the Moto Minded AFD (Air Filter Disc) is a simple part that spreads out the load on the internal tower holding the air filter from collapsing. The 3D-printed part sets atop the air filter cage and is claimed to stop the cage from poking a hole into the air filter foam, which would ultimately cause damage to your engine. Price is $10.00.

HOW IT WORKS

This is a $10 insurance policy that not only prevents the pointed air filter cage from possibly poking a hole in your air filter, but also extends the life of the filter since they do not wear out in the center spot from the rubbing. The piece drops right onto the central

tower on the air filter cage and provides a much wider pad for the filter to rest on. It takes a second to put it in place since it is loose-fitting, you have to keep the pressure on it when stretching the filter over the cage. You put it in and forget about it. Just remember it when you are changing filters so as not to lose it. We

guess you could glue it in place if you wanted. We never had any issues using the AFD and we did notice a fair amount of wear on filters that we did not use this part with. So we caught them in time. We could not tell any performance difference but the AFD does spread the filter out a little bit more than when it isn’t installed. In fact, some aftermarket filters that were tight already were difficult to install and could be prone to tearing. Ditto for dry or old filters with compromised foam.

If you have a newer KTM or Husqvarna with the pointy air filter cage, get this part.
