I replaced the Hurricane Racing Performance (P/N: HM-8187) that I was running with the same Special Parts Takegawa Power Filter (P/N: 03-01-0033). I had cleaned the Hurricane Racing filter once before and that was a pain. The flimsy rubber outer material also made it difficult to install. With the foam "sponge" element being removable on the Takegawa filter I imagine it will be very easy to clean, and the firm plastic outer made it super easy to install just as you mention in the video. I kept the "fine" filter that was already attached to it rather than switching to the "coarse" filter, and I coated the foam filter element with some PJ1 Foam Air Filter Oil and then kneaded that in on both sides so it should do a better job of trapping fine particles. Takegawa note that a fuel injection controller change is not necessary on a "normal engine". I am running the stock bore and cam so don't expect any issue without making fuel controller changes, there was no observable performance difference after changing to the Takegawa filter.

Does one need to oil this new filter?

The instructions do not mention it so it isn't necessary, but oil should help trap more dirt especially for off-road riding.

I thought it was interesting that this same style of filter is sold with Takegawa and Koso branding for some of the other Honda mini motos... Koso even call it a "Hurricane Racing" air filter.
