Description
The BMC FM01069 is a high-performance replacement air filter designed for the Honda CBR650R from 2019 onwards, and is also compatible with the Honda CB650R. This panel filter is installed in the vehicle’s original airbox to replace the OEM air filter, requiring no modifications to the motorcycle. It is made of highly performing materials that allow increased air flow combined with more efficient filtration, guaranteeing containment of all impurities as small as 7 microns, compared to the 10 microns typical of OEM filters. BMC filters are made of a multi-layered cotton gauze soaked with low viscosity oil, covered with an epoxy coated alloy mesh to ensure protection from petrol fumes and oxidization due to air humidity. They are produced using BMC’s Full Moulding system, which enables the characteristic red filter to be realized from a single mould with no welded joints, thus avoiding easy breakage. All BMC air filters are supplied pre-oiled and ready to fit. Because it is built from oiled cotton gauze rather than paper, this filter is fully washable and reusable. It can be cleaned and regenerated using the appropriate BMC regeneration kit, allowing repeated reuse and extended service life instead of routine replacement, making it both a performance upgrade and a long-term cost saving.
