Product Overview
A dusty, oil-soaked, damaged, or restricted filter can reduce power and allow abrasive dirt toward the engine. The outer prefilter catches larger debris and is especially useful in trail and farm conditions.
This filter appears across many Polaris models beyond the Sportsman 500. Match the filter dimensions, cage or sleeve arrangement, and air-box design rather than relying on model name alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a dirty filter cause an ATV to lose power? A: Yes. Severe restriction can reduce airflow, but fuel delivery, ignition, compression, and exhaust should also be considered.
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct air-filter and prefilter set? A: Compare filter length, diameter, end shape, prefilter arrangement, and air-box design with the removed filter.
Q: Is this supplied by Polaris? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand and model names identify compatible applications only.
