BMC Air Filter FM966/08 for Royal Enfield Himalayan 410/411 (LS410) & Scram 411 (LS410) – Washable Performance Replacement | OEM Ref 587343/A

Upgrade your Royal Enfield’s breathing with the BMC FM966/08 washable performance air filter, designed as a direct replacement inside the stock airbox (no cutting or “jugaad” fitment). This is a pre-oiled cotton gauze filter with BMC’s molded sealing design, built to improve airflow while maintaining strong filtration—ideal for Indian riding where dust is real and service intervals matter. BMC states filtration containment down to ~7 microns (vs typical OEM paper claims around ~10 microns), and the filter is washable & reusable, so you can regenerate it using a proper cleaning/oiling kit instead of repeatedly buying paper elements.
