Whether you're chasing lap times on the track or pushing hard on your favorite back road, the P08 F1-85 is the highest-flowing, highest-performing drop-in air filter available for the Bimota BB3 — and unlike most race filters, it requires no ECU remapping on a stock bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRace-Proven Performance — MotoGP \u0026amp; SBK Technology for Your Street Bike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSprint Filter has been engineering air filtration since 1952 — the world's oldest manufacturer of high-performance air filters.

Compared to the already high-performing standard P08, the P08 F1-85 delivers approximately three times the airflow, uses a finer 22-micron wire diameter polyester weave, and incorporates patented waterproof construction. Despite these performance advantages, filtration efficiency remains virtually identical — 95.22% particle retention for P08 F1-85 vs. 93.13% for the standard P08.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much horsepower will the P08 F1-85 add to my motorcycle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-flow performance air filters typically contribute 1–3 horsepower on stock engines by reducing intake restriction. The greater benefit of the P08 F1-85 is improved throttle response and significantly increased airflow headroom for engines with modifications such as performance exhausts or ECU tuning. The more modifications your motorcycle has, the more the P08 F1-85's high-flow capability can be leveraged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes installing the P08 F1-85 require ECU tuning or remapping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Sprint P08 F1-85 installs as a direct replacement for the factory air filter and is engineered to work within stock ECU parameters without any fuel system adjustments or remapping. If your bike has other performance modifications — exhaust systems, ECU flashes, or throttle body work — this filter pairs exceptionally well with those upgrades, and ECU tuning in those cases may be beneficial to fully optimize the air-fuel mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to oil the Sprint P08 F1-85?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — and this is critical. Sprint Filter air filters use dry polyester technology and must never be oiled. Applying oil to the P08 F1-85 will compromise its filtration performance and can cause oil contamination in your intake system, potentially damaging your engine. If you accidentally oil the filter, absorb as much oil as possible with a clean cloth, wash with a common household detergent, rinse thoroughly, allow to completely air dry, then blow with compressed air before reinstalling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the Sprint P08 F1-85 — and how often?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder normal street riding conditions, the P08 F1-85 can be cleaned every 10,000–15,000 kilometers. To clean: remove the filter, blow it with compressed air in the opposite direction of normal airflow, and reinstall immediately — no washing or drying time required. For filters that are heavily soiled, soak in common household detergent, rinse with clean water until it runs clear, allow to fully air dry, then blow with compressed air before reinstalling. Riders in dusty or off-road environments should inspect and clean the filter more frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the P08 F1-85 waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Sprint Filter P08 F1-85 features patented waterproof construction, making it the only race-specification filter in the world with this capability. This provides added protection in wet riding conditions without compromising the filter's performance or requiring any special post-ride treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this filter void my warranty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Installing an aftermarket air filter does not void your motorcycle's warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The P08 F1-85 is a direct drop-in replacement that requires no modifications to the airbox, emissions system, or any other component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Sprint P08 F1-85 EPA compliant for street use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The P08 F1-85 is a direct replacement air filter that maintains proper filtration standards and does not alter the motorcycle's emissions system. It is compliant for street use in all 50 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the Sprint P08 F1-85 last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith proper maintenance, the P08 F1-85 is designed to last the lifetime of your motorcycle. Because it is made from man-made polyester, it does not deteriorate, lose structural integrity, or degrade in performance over time the way cotton or foam filters can. Sprint Filter backs this quality with a \u003cstrong\u003e2-year manufacturer warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e from the date of purchase from an authorized dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is the Sprint P08 F1-85 different from K\u0026amp;N and other aftermarket filters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P08 F1-85 is a dry polyester filter — it requires no oiling, unlike K\u0026amp;N and most cotton-gauze filters which require periodic oil treatments. Sprint Filter's independent university testing showed the standard P08 polyester outperformed all leading brand filters — including race-specification cotton filters — in airflow. The P08 F1-85 extends that lead further with approximately 3x the airflow of the standard P08. Additionally, the P08 F1-85 is waterproof and is the only filter of its kind in the world. Sprint Filter's manufacturing process — developed over 65+ years and validated at the highest levels of motorsport competition — uses patented single-layer polyester technology for more uniform airflow and less intake turbulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy From Sixty61?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthorized Sprint Filter distributor\u003c\/strong\u003e — Genuine Sprint Filter products with full manufacturer warranty support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e on orders over $99 (Continental US)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast processing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Most orders ship same or next business day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpert powersports support\u003c\/strong\u003e — Specialists available to assist with fitment and installation questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20+ years in business\u003c\/strong\u003e — Serving the powersports community since 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure checkout\u003c\/strong\u003e — Safe, encrypted payment processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sprint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47275792826621,"sku":"405413-BB3","price":262.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/6263\/1421\/files\/405413_BMW_P08F1_85_SF_Zoom__84041_258c1442-b35b-4f60-95d6-7d7ba5b1bd15.jpg?v=1772974050","url":"https:\/\/www.sixty61.com\/products\/bimota-bb3-air-filter-2014-2019-sprint-p08-f1-85-high-flow-performance","provider":"Sixty61","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
