    When running a foam filter on quads,what would happen if one filter were to break and bits of the foam
    were sucked into motor?would it just burn up and nothing to worry about?has this happened to you?

    Mostly your theory is correct.

    Not something i would try thou.

    Too many unknowns, could effect the air fuel entering properly amongst other things.

    Left overs if they escaped the exhaust valve would next get caught in the catalytic convertor.

    Definitely something you want to avoid.

    Your question suggests its already happened??
