I have UNI filter on my Aero 125.
the first RED OUTER SLEEVE disappeared without reason.
I wondered if it was "lifted" by an unscrupulous passer-by,
or did it just get flung into the universe by the massive air pressure created by Ruby's blazing speed.
Either way, and now, a SECOND sleeve has managed to wriggle it's way free.
ANY suggestions to secure this sleeve to the filter body and end this exodus of expensive foam cylinders ??

Yeah, the red bit tends to blow off randomly. I once tried a few spots of contact cement to wed the twain but the oil in the sponge prevents stickage, even on a new unit. If I still had one I would consider a small zip-tie through both layers.

Re: UNI-Filter security
Ya Really the Red cover is for off road vehicles. Just a dust cover. Easier to clean between rides and between full air filter cleaning.
But its pretty easy to get creative about making sure it doesnt come off.
I may have used a couple paper clips before.

Re: UNI-Filter security
I have found that hot glue works well to hold filter foam together.

Re: UNI-Filter security
Try 2 zip ties? If you can make em tight it'd be hard to come off.

It's easier to stop caring three years ago than it is to fix it in present time.

Re: UNI-Filter security
I usually loose the whole filter, I started tieing a string to mine. The paper clip worked good to hold them together for me.
