BMC Performance Air Filter FM01182 – Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 / Shotgun 650 / Classic 650 – Washable High-Flow Cotton Intake

If your Super Meteor 650 or Shotgun 650 feels a little choked at higher revs or after dusty rides, the stock paper filter is usually the culprit. The BMC Performance Air Filter FM01182 is a direct replacement for the OEM element (RE 00088C) designed specifically for the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 (2022-on), Shotgun 650 (2024-on) and Classic 650 (2025-on).

Built from multi-layer oiled cotton gauze and housed in BMC’s signature red full-moulded frame, this filter offers higher airflow with excellent filtration, letting your 650 twin breathe more freely while still trapping fine dust – perfect for Indian riding conditions. Unlike disposable paper filters, FM01182 is washable and reusable using a BMC cleaning kit, so you buy it once and maintain it for the life of the bike.

Drop-in fit means no cutting, no airbox mods, no remap required when used with stock exhausts. Expect crisper throttle response, smoother roll-on acceleration and more consistent performance on highway touring, city commutes and fully-loaded rides.

Buying from Under The Hood means you get 100% genuine BMC stock, fresh import dates, careful packing and real-world advice from a workshop that actually tunes and services Royal Enfield 650s daily. Pair it with our premium engine oil and 650-specific chain kits for a complete performance refresh.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Direct fit in the stock airbox – follow Royal Enfield manual to access the air filter on Super Meteor / Shotgun / Classic 650.

• Ensure the red rubber lip seats evenly all around the airbox to avoid dust bypass.

• No ECU remap needed with stock exhausts; after installing with free-flow exhausts, check AFR if you ride very hard or tour in hot conditions.

• Cleaning interval depends on riding conditions; BMC generally recommends inspection every 10,000–15,000 km, or sooner for dusty use. Use only the official BMC cleaning kit—do not use petrol or high-pressure air.

• After washing, let the filter dry completely and apply BMC oil evenly; do not over-oil, as excess oil can foul MAP/IAT sensors.

FAQs 

Q1. Will FM01182 fit my Super Meteor 650 without any modification?
Yes. BMC FM01182 is designed as a drop-in replacement for the OEM filter in the Super Meteor 650 airbox. Just remove the stock paper filter and install this in its place, ensuring the red rubber lip seals properly.

Q2. Is this the same filter for Shotgun 650 and Classic 650?
Yes. BMC’s official catalogue lists FM01182 for Super Meteor 650 (2022>), Shotgun 650 (2024>) and Classic 650 (2025>), so all three share this performance element.

Q3. Do I need to remap or add a fuel controller after installing this filter?
For stock or slip-on exhausts, a remap is not mandatory. The ECU can compensate within its range, and most riders notice smoother response without issues. For full-system exhausts or aggressive tuning, a proper dyno tune or piggyback ECU is recommended for best results.

Q4. How often should I clean the BMC filter, and what do I use?
Check the filter every 10,000–15,000 km or earlier in dusty use. When visibly dirty, wash it with the BMC cleaning kit (detergent + filter oil), let it dry completely and re-oil evenly. Avoid petrol, diesel or strong solvents.

Q5. Is this genuine BMC or a local performance filter?
This is a 100% genuine BMC Air Filter, supplied in original FM01182 box with correct labelling, EAN 8053435270342 and import details. Under The Hood sources these directly from authorised distributors; we do not sell loose or unbranded “performance” filters.
