Ducati Performance Air Filter Cleaning?

I have the DP air filter and air box mods fitted to my 1100. I have never cleaned it and I think after 25000 miles it’s about time that I did. I think but not certain the filter is by BMC

A little help and or advice would be appreciated?

Thank You

I am not sure about the DP filters on the later bikes- certainly the earlier models used K&N in the DP kit, or you cut the airbox using a template supplied if you just bought the K&N.

I would say however that if the filter you have (BMC?) is of the same design as a K&N then I would imagine their cleaning & re-oiling kit would do the trick. Where’s if it is a foam type similar to many ITG filters then I would search through a motocross supplier for a similar kit for foam filters as many MX bikes use them.

For reference, I run an open airbox with a K&N on my 1997 900 and cleaned that using their kit at a similar mileage to yours without really noticing any difference other than it looked clean.

More or less what he said, K&N kit, bottle of cleaner + bottle of oil.
read instructions carefully and proceed.

Allow a couple of hours for air drying unless v. warm
day. Avoid blow drying with airline!
