M4: Air Filter Cleaning


Tools recommended for air filter maintenance:

Flat head screwdriver

Air filter oil

5mm hex key

Foam filter oil


The Cobra is equipped with a special designed sock filter. It is very important to
keep it clean and properly oiled with high quality water-resistant foam filter oil.
It’s very important to oil your filter consistently each time because varied amounts
of oil will change your carburetor jetting.

Make sure you change your filter after each moto. We recommend carrying 3 or
more filters in your toolbox.

1 for practice
1 for the each moto

In our testing when filters are properly oiled, no water, dirt or mud can penetrate
through the yellow or red foam to the carburetor inlet. It is important that the filter
does not touch any of the frame components in a rainy, muddy situation. We
offer two different filters. One filter for the use in sand (part # RCMU0101), and
the regular filter for regular use (part # RCMU0206).

When washing your bike cover the carburetor/filter with a suitable shield capable
of keeping water from entering the engine. Cobra has a rubber clamp-on plug for
the carburetor referred to as a carburetor condom (part # RCMU0104).
