BMC Air Filter for Triumph Speed 400 / Scrambler 400X
A BMC filter is a washable cotton element that replaces the paper filter your bike came with. Paper filters are consumables - they clog, they restrict airflow as they do, and you buy another one. A BMC is cleaned and re-oiled instead, and BMC rate them for the life of the engine.
The airflow gain is real but modest on a stock bike: expect slightly crisper throttle response rather than a power figure you can feel. The honest case for one is running cost and, in Indian conditions, the fact that a washable element copes better with dust than a paper filter you are reluctant to replace every few thousand kilometres.
This is the direct-fit element for the Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X - it drops into the standard airbox with no modification. Part number FM01209.

FAQs
Q: Will I gain power?
On a stock bike, very little - expect slightly better throttle response, not a meaningful power figure. The real gain is that it does not degrade like paper as it fills.
Q: How often do I clean it?
Roughly every 10,000 km in normal use, sooner if you ride a lot of dust. Wash with BMC cleaner, dry fully, re-oil lightly. Over-oiling is the common mistake and it can foul a sensor.
Q: Do I need a remap?
No. It is a direct replacement element in the standard airbox.
Q: Does it affect my warranty?
A drop-in filter is not normally an issue, but the decision rests with your service centre. Ask them if the bike is still under warranty.
Q: Will it fit my bike?

Local Buying Guide
On Indian roads an air filter works harder than the service interval assumes. A washable element you actually clean beats a paper one you keep meaning to replace. Browse more maintenance parts.
