MANN-FILTER Air Filter C 2243/1 for Motorcycles

The Original MANN‑FILTER Air Filter C 2243/1 is a high‑performance, OEM‑grade air filter designed specifically for motorcycle engines. It delivers superior filtration efficiency while maintaining optimal airflow, ensuring that your bike’s combustion chamber receives clean, dry air for maximum power and longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

• Premium Filtration Media: Utilises a multi‑layered cellulose fibre construction that captures fine dust particles down to 0.5 µm, protecting the engine from wear.
• Optimised Airflow: Engineered with a low resistance design, it allows unrestricted airflow, which translates into improved throttle response and higher horsepower output.
• Durable Construction: The filter housing is made of reinforced plastic that resists cracking and deformation under high temperatures and vibration.
• Easy Installation: Fits the original air box with no modifications. Comes with a clear, colour‑coded gasket for quick identification during replacement.
• Long Service Life: Designed to last up to 12,000 km under normal riding conditions before requiring cleaning or replacement.
• Eco‑Friendly Design: Made from recyclable materials and manufactured in the UK following strict environmental standards.

Compatibility Overview

The C 2243/1 is specifically engineered for a range of BMW motorcycle models, including but not limited to:

• BMW K1200 series (K1200R, K1200S, K1200GT)
• BMW K1250 series (K1250R, K1250S, K1250GT)
• BMW F800 series (F800GS, F800R, F800ST)

It is also compatible with aftermarket air box kits that replicate the OEM dimensions. Always verify the exact model number on your bike’s service manual before installation.

Installation Procedure

1. Remove Old Filter: Open the air box cover, disconnect any hoses if necessary, and carefully lift out the existing filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
2. Inspect Air Box: Clean any debris or oil residue from the interior surfaces with a mild detergent solution. Dry thoroughly.
3. Place New Filter: Align the gasket on the C 2243/1 with the corresponding slot in the air box. Gently slide the filter into place, ensuring it sits flush against the gasket.
4. Reassemble: Replace the cover and secure all fasteners. Reconnect any hoses that were detached during removal.
5. Check Seals: Verify that no air leaks are present by inspecting around the gasket area after a short test ride.

Maintenance & Cleaning Guidelines

The C 2243/1 is designed to be cleaned rather than replaced for routine maintenance. Follow these steps:

1. Remove the filter and gently shake off loose dirt.
2. Use a low‑pressure air compressor or a gentle vacuum to blow out remaining particles.
3. If heavily soiled, rinse with lukewarm water containing a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the cellulose fibres.
4. Allow the filter to dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinstalling.

After cleaning, inspect the media for any tears or excessive wear. Replace if necessary.
