Clean the filter element at every oil change interval, typically 5,000-8,000 kilometres, depending on your riding conditions and oil type. Remove the internal cap with the supplied Allen wrench, extract the magnet and mesh element, clean both with solvent or degreaser, dry thoroughly, and reassemble with a fresh O-ring. The entire process takes 5-10 minutes and gives you valuable diagnostic information about your engine’s internal condition.

No. The Figurati filter flows up to ten times better than conventional paper filters, resulting in less restriction and potentially higher oil pressure at idle and operating temperature. The integrated bypass system ensures oil flow is maintained even if the filter element becomes saturated between services. Your oil pressure gauge will show normal or improved readings compared to a restrictive paper filter.

The filter includes one installed O-ring and two spares. Replace the O-ring during every cleaning service to ensure proper sealing. While the installed O-ring may appear serviceable after removal, O-rings are inexpensive insurance against oil leaks. Figurati includes spares because they understand the importance of fresh sealing surfaces and use them. Additional O-rings are readily available through any Rollies Speed Shop authorised dealer.

The Figurati’s 2000 Gauss neodymium magnet captures ferrous metallic particles, iron, and steel components from gears, bearings, cylinder walls, and valve train components. Non-magnetic metals like aluminium and brass are captured by the 25-micron stainless-steel mesh element. Together, these systems remove both magnetic and non-magnetic contaminants more effectively than paper filters, which rely solely on mechanical filtration. The four outer pre-filtering magnets catch larger debris before it reaches the main element.

With proper maintenance, the Figurati filter will outlast your motorcycle’s engine. The 6063 anodised aluminium housing is corrosion-resistant and engineered for decades of service. The stainless-steel mesh element doesn’t degrade like paper media. The neodymium magnet maintains its magnetic properties indefinitely under normal operating temperatures. The only consumable component is the O-ring, which you replace at each service. Riders who’ve installed these filters report flawless performance over 100,000+ kilometres.

Unlike paper filters that hide contamination inside, the Figurati filter is designed for inspection. At each oil change, remove the internal cap and visually inspect the magnet and mesh element. If you see significant metallic buildup on the magnet or debris in the mesh, clean the filter. Most riders establish a routine of cleaning at every oil change, regardless of visible contamination, which takes minutes and provides peace of mind. Heavy buildup may indicate accelerated engine wear requiring investigation.
