FAQs About DNA Air Filters
Does the DNA filter provide the same level of protection as the OEM filter?
What is filtering efficiency?
What is ISO 5011 filtering efficiency test?
How does DNA measure the airflow and why is this data useful for me, the end user?
Other performance filters manufacturers, claim air flow data much higher than DNA for the same model, is it possible? I also tried to find the stock OEM filter flow data from them to compare.Can i use the DNA Data?
Can I change my OEM filter with a DNA without changing fueling?
I have heard that only the foam filters are good for Off-Road use not the cotton ones. Can I use the DNA filter for Off-Road use?
Can I use the DNA filter un-oiled? Must I always apply oil after cleaning it?
I have seen, in many other cotton filters, the rubber material the filter is made of, has leaked all over the filtering media severely reducing the filtering area. Can this happen to the DNA filters?
I have a race bike. Do I need to use a filter and if yes why DNA?
What is DNA FCd design?
How often do I have to clean my DNA filter?
Can I use gasoline, thinners or compressed air to clean my DNA filter?
Does the DNA filter provide the same level of protection as the OEM filter?

Yes and even better, the DNA filters have a filtering efficiency of minimum 98% (ISO 5011 test). Good quality OEM paper filters are from 97% to 99% and the foam filters are from 92% to 97%.

What is filtering efficiency?

Filtering efficiency is the amount of "dirt" the filter can maintain (stop) and protect the engine efficiently. For example, the DNA Filter for every 100 grams of dirt that it will receive, it will "trap" 98-99 grams, and this applies even to fine dirt as small as 5 microns.

What is ISO 5011 filtering efficiency test?

The percentage of dust that the filter retains during a laboratory test, following the ISO 5011 protocol.

How does DNA measure the airflow and why is this data useful for me, the end user?

DNA uses the most advanced computerized ROTRONICS flowbench available today. The complete procedure is computer controlled/automated, to avoid human error. Additionally, wa always test the DNA filters back to back, the same day and time, with the stock OEM filters and publish the results. Reading our data, you can immediately see the differences in air flow, between the 2 filters and what to expect by using the DNA filters.

Other performance filters manufacturers, claim air flow data much higher than DNA for the same model, is it possible? I also tried to find the stock OEM filter flow data from them to compare.Can i use the DNA Data?

It was brought to our attention, so we purchased the filters and tested them back to back at the same set pressure, with our DNA and the stock OEM filters. Well guess what, the data claimed were false, nothing to do with the reality! Of course the flow was higher than the stock but much lower compared to the DNA! No wonder they never compare it with the stock, as they can't claim 300% (!) increase in air flow over the stock OEM filter. Only data measured back to back the same time are comparable, don't forget we are measuring air! This is why we always publish the stock OEM data.

Can I change my OEM filter with a DNA without changing fueling?

In cases the air flow of the DNA Filter is extremely high we include with the filter special instructions.

I have heard that only the foam filters are good for Off-Road use not the cotton ones. Can I use the DNA filter for Off-Road use?

DNA has developed a unique filtering media that is perfect for off-road use. During the toughest rally in the world, DAKAR 2011 in Argentina - Chile, one of the factory Aprilia 450 Rally bikes, was racing with DNA filter. The results were very impressive compared to the rest of the team's bikes racing with foam filters. Every evening when the bikes were serviced, compared back to back the DNA filter and the foam filters, absolutely no dust had passed through and the engine was like new! Not to mention that one filter was enough for each day, compared to 2 or 3 foam filters per day the other bikes had to use. So this myth is busted!

Can I use the DNA filter un-oiled? Must I always apply oil after cleaning it?

No, you must never use the DNA filter un-oiled. The oil is a crucial part of the filtering media. You must always apply the Special DNA filter oil, not just any oil, after servicing the filter.

I have seen, in many other cotton filters, the rubber material the filter is made of, has leaked all over the filtering media severely reducing the filtering area. Can this happen to the DNA filters?

Absolutely no, DNA uses very special thixotropic polyurethane that will not leak in the filtering media reducing the active filtering area, when we produce our round filters. Concerning the panel filters, we will allow a controlled 3 to 5 mm leak, that is nothing compared to the uneven 10 to 15 mm leak that our competitors have.
