Best Answer

A dirt bike uses a foam filter (some filters have a second coarse outer layer) over a plastic frame. The plastic frame keeps the filter stretched tight around the air intake for the carb. The foam filter is oiled lightly and dirt and particles stick to the oil on the outside of the filter.
