Same here, the airbox design is simply bad. There are two places where dust can get in. 1.where the two halves of the airbox fit together. There is a rubber seal sitting in a groove in the 'fixed' half. You can take it out, apply silicone grease to that groove, put the seal back, more grease over the seal. Then when the two airbox halves are joined together they'll seal a lot better and not allow dust in through there. 2. where the actual air filter sits - that piece can deform and let dirty air bypass the air filter. The solution there is either an aftermarket filter with better seal/lip. Or alternatively a company called Gamma Zinken produces some 3d printed pieces which fit into the airbox and basically keep that from deforming. Or a combination of both.
The airbox lid for the new 2024 models was improved but unfortunately the new lid does not fit on the previous E4 and E5 models. The shape of the back is more protruding - the bevel is not there. If you look at the recently released spare parts catalogs for the 2024 models changing these parts:... 1. battery box: 2B011780, 2. battery holder: 2B011781 + 3x AP8150509 self-tap screw 5x14, 3. filter holder (aka airbox lid): 2B011834. Here is my final fix: ruclips.net/video/rjAlHbPkiRI/видео.html (Improved V85 TT E5+ 2024 Airbox on an E5 Model)
Has anyone tried running two gaskets instead of just one? I haven't tried yet, but might try that, as when i checked the gasket, I noticed mine is "broken" in one area, tho the two ends do seem to meet now after re-seating it. So I'll probably be ordering a new one. Might run both and see how it goes.

Just checked and.. 😮 same here. I ll have to look out for a aftermarket filter now 😁
Surprised with all these years that passed by that nobody put out a working airbox on the market.

Is there any aftermarket solution? Or try applying little silicone on the filter edges after good clean 🤷
