How to choose filters, cables and controls for your motorcycle

Air filters: OEM replacement or high filtration

Air filters are divided into two main categories: OEM replacements, designed to replicate factory specifications, and high-performance oiled cotton filters. The former, produced by brands such as Meiwa (MIW) and SGR, guarantee a direct replacement without modifications; the latter, such as those from K&N and DT-1, offer greater airflow and are washable. The choice depends on your needs: routine maintenance or seeking greater engine breathing.

Oil filters: compatibility first and foremost

For oil filters, the decisive factor is compatibility with the engine, which can be checked using the make, model and year. Meiwa, UFI and Knecht/Mahle cover a wide range of applications. Always check the code on the filter to be replaced or the vehicle's technical manual before purchasing.

Brake and transmission cables: measurements and fittings

Speedometer cables, brake cables and throttle cables are components subject to progressive wear. The parameters to check are the overall length, the cable diameter, and the shape and dimensions of the fittings at both ends. SGR products cover a very wide range of European and Japanese motorcycles and scooters. For older or niche applications, the original OEM code is the most reliable reference.

Grips: grip, density and fastening system

ProGrip is the benchmark for grips, with dedicated ranges for road use, motocross, enduro and ATVs. The main variables are the inner diameter (compatible with the handlebar), the fastening system (classic or lock-on), and the material density (single or dual density). Perforated versions improve ventilation during road riding; dual-density grips absorb vibrations better off-road.

Rearview mirrors and carburetor kits

Hert mirrors are available for a wide range of specific models, with distinct right and left fittings: always check the side and the thread of the fitting on your vehicle. Carburetor rebuild kits include gaskets, needles, jets and diaphragms; they are identified by model and carburetor code, so an exact match is essential to avoid installation incompatibilities.

Domande frequenti

Come trovo il filtro aria giusto per la mia moto?

Parti da marca, modello, cilindrata e anno di immatricolazione. Meiwa e SGR usano questi dati per identificare il ricambio corretto. In alternativa, il codice stampato sul filtro originale da sostituire permette una ricerca diretta per riferimento.

Qual è la differenza tra un filtro aria sostitutivo OEM e un filtro K&N?

Il filtro OEM replica le caratteristiche originali di fabbrica ed è la scelta standard per la manutenzione ordinaria. Il filtro K&N in cotone oliato è lavabile e riutilizzabile, con una portata d'aria superiore; richiede una pulizia periodica con kit dedicato.

Come si misura un cavo freno o contachilometri per ordinare quello corretto?

Serve la lunghezza totale del cavo (da terminale a terminale), il diametro del filo interno e la forma dei raccordi alle estremità. Il metodo più affidabile è confrontare il cavo usurato con le misure indicate nella scheda del ricambio, oppure usare marca, modello e anno del veicolo.

Le manopole ProGrip lock-on sono compatibili con qualsiasi manubrio?

Le manopole lock-on si fissano meccanicamente al manubrio tramite un collare interno, senza colla. Sono compatibili con i diametri standard più diffusi, ma verifica sempre il diametro interno della manopola con quello del manubrio del tuo veicolo prima dell'acquisto.
