Installation Notes

Tools typically needed: screwdriver / Allen key set (as per your airbox screws), clean microfiber cloth.

Install tips:

1. Open airbox carefully; avoid dust falling into the intake side.

2. Remove the OEM paper filter; clean the sealing surface.

3. Seat the BMC filter evenly—rubber frame must sit flush for airtight sealing.

4. Close airbox uniformly; do not pinch the seal.

Maintenance warning (important):

• FM828/20 is an oiled cotton gauze filter and is designed to be washed/regenerated. Do not over-oil after cleaning; use a proper filter service kit and let it dry fully before re-oiling lightly. (Most competitor pages miss this and customers end up with messy airboxes.)
