ATV Air Filters and Parts for Yamaha Big Bear 400
Air filtration units perform a vital function in a Yamaha Big Bear 4x4 ATV. These parts keep your engine running clean and smooth for as long as possible by keeping exterior debris from reaching the ATVs engine. To get more out of a replacement filtration system or any OEM parts for your Big Bear, its important to understand how they function and when to repair or replace them.
Why are air filters important in a Yamaha 4x4?While its easy to think that it may not be necessary to purchase replacement filtration parts from time to time, they have benefits that extend beyond simply keeping contaminants out of your Big Bear ATVs inner workings. In keeping this debris out of your vehicle, these systems improve the overall performance of the 4x4 in several ways:
- Working filtration parts increase the fuel efficiency of your ATV. If they are successful in keeping harmful particles out, the ATV can maintain optimal fuel-to-air ratios and will not have to work as hard to run smoothly. This lack of extra strain translates directly into a 4x4 that doesnt need to consume as much fuel to run.
- Similarly, a decent filtering device can reduce the emissions your Big Bear produces. A clogged or nonworking system chokes the vehicle and creates incorrect air-to-fuel mixtures that lead not only to a rougher, less pleasant ride but additional problems with spark plugs and ignition sequences.
- With your Yamaha engine no longer plagued by dirt and other negative factors, everything will function at a higher level and last longer, too.
These filtration systems come in a variety of styles. Knowing some of the more common types available will help you choose what suits your needs:
- Some filtration components are pre-oiled to give them a performance boost.
- Two-stage Yamaha filtration components will use both a pre-cleaning agent and a primary filtration device to catch and clean dust from environments that might be heavy in it.
- Triple-layer filtration systems provide increased protection and longevity that will keep your Yamaha running on the ideal fuel-to-air mixture for a long time.
In addition to clean air systems, there are other OEM parts that could provide your Yamaha Big Bear with additional benefits.
- A universal tune-up kit comes complete with an air filtration unit, a spark plug, and an oil cleaning unit for a complete tweaking of some of the most basic serviceable areas of your 4x4.
- Replacement airbox assemblies, including intake boxes that are compatible with a Yamaha Big Bear, are also available.
- You can also wrap your replacement Yamaha air filtration device in a pre-filter that protects it from sand, dirt, debris, or even water, thus increasing the longevity of your next cleaning system.
