TE/TC 2015 TE300 air filter fitment

Been using the stock air filter plastic cage and am quite frankly not liking it at all. I can never seem to get it properly snugged down and tight like I think it should be. Is there an aftermarket cage available or any tips with using the stock one? I even switched filters from TwinAir to DT-1 and the DT-1's have that thick dense sealing foam on the outside mating surface which made the fitment worse.

I haven't hade any problems with my stock cages but I do grease the rim of the filter really well. Air intake boot is clean as a whistle. I agree with you though it is a weird fit.

I sometimes have that feeling of not getting it lined up as well.
Fact is this Husaberg arrangement a very well proven set up, nothing new about it and used for a bunch of years now at the highest levels of racing. My best feel comes with having my gloves on and installing the assy filter/cage from the palm of my hand and using my fingers to get a good feel around the lip of the assy. To feel it seated around the perimeter. Then holding it on and putting the clip on, I also recheck after the clip is on I just grab the assy in my palm and wrap my fingers around it and feel around the sides it takes seconds and works great. All this FYI.

I always have 3 filters 1 on and 2 in rotation, been thinking to even get at least 1 more cage, to have a second complete assy. RFI. yes and grease the filter seal as well.

PS ZipTy Racing will have a new viddy explaining a new custom ZipTy Racing labeled UNI filter that Ty has designed for a more solid seal fit

It says in the manual to use grease around the air box and the air filter where they meet up. I just cleaned mine and it seems pretty good

I put a thick fiber washer between the air filter and the plastic arm that holds the filter down which puts a little more force on the filter cage and then I run a bead of grease around the filter. Nothing gets by that baby!

Cage is just a little over $6. I bought 2 more, so have 2 spares cage and all. Filter swaps are fast and simple this way. I always take the seat off, so I get a better look at how filter is fitting. Easier to install, than filter on previous KTM design. My '12 Husaberg is harder to line up.
