BMC 2017+ Kawasaki Z 900 Replacement Air Filter

BMC Air Filter for Kawasaki Z900 (2017+) | High Performance

Upgrade your Kawasaki Z900 (2017+) with the BMC high-performance replacement air filter. Boost airflow, improve throttle response, and protect your engine with race-tested filtration.

Engineered in Italy and developed through rigorous track testing in MotoGP and WorldSBK, the BMC High-Performance Replacement Air Filter (Part # FM988/04) is designed as a direct drop-in replacement for the OEM paper filter in your Kawasaki Z900 (2017 and newer models).

Unlike standard paper filters that restrict air intake and degrade over time, the BMC filter uses a multi-layered oiled cotton gauze element encased within an epoxy-coated alloy mesh. This design allows a significantly higher volume of clean air to reach the engine, leading to optimized combustion, sharper throttle delivery, and noticeable performance gains. Built using BMC's proprietary "Full Moulding" process, the filter frame is molded as a single seamless unit to prevent accidental cracking or structural breakdown under high intake pressure.

Best Uses

1. Daily Street Riding: Delivers cleaner airflow and crisper throttle delivery for urban commutes and daily highway rides.
2. Track Days & High-RPM Performance: Maximizes intake efficiency when pushing the Z900’s inline-four engine to high power outputs.
3. Aftermarket Tuning Support: Ideal companion upgrade for motorcycles equipped with aftermarket exhausts, slip-ons, or custom ECU tunes.

Features

1. Full Moulding Construction: Manufactured from a single mold with zero welded joints, eliminating structural weak points and preventing breakage.
2. Multi-Layered Oiled Cotton Gauze: Soaked in low-viscosity oil to capture microscopic impurities down to 7 microns without choking air velocity.
3. Epoxy-Coated Alloy Mesh: Shields the filtering media from humidity, oxidation, and potentially damaging petrol fumes.
4. Direct OEM Fitment: Engineered to match the exact dimensions of the stock Kawasaki airbox for a seamless, drop-in installation.
5. Washable & Reusable Media: Fully restorable using the official BMC cleaning kit, eliminating the need to buy disposable stock filters.

Benefits

1. Enhanced Power & Acceleration: Increases airflow volume to deliver sharper throttle response and peak engine power output.
2. Superior Engine Protection: Provides tighter filtration (7 microns vs OEM 10 microns) to guard cylinder walls from micro-abrasives.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings: Reusable design ensures the filter lasts the entire lifespan of your motorcycle with routine cleaning maintenance.
4. Airbox Seal Integrity: High-durability red compound rubber adapts tightly to the airbox housing to prevent unfiltered air bypass.
5. Track-Proven Reliability: Built with tech derived directly from top-tier professional motorsports, ensuring extreme heat and pressure durability.
