IDENTIFICATION DATA
It is a good idea to write down the frame
and engine numbers in the space provi-
ded below. Use the frame number (VIN) to
identify your vehicle when ordering spare
parts.
In all states and countries, it is against
the law to alter the Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). You can incur severe pe-
nalties by doing this. Also, this will im-
mediately invalidate your warranty.
FRAME NUMBER
The frame number (A) is stamped on the
right side of the fork head.
Frame no.
ENGINE NUMBER
The engine number (B) is stamped on the
rear part of the left engine crankcase.
Engine no.
AIR CLEANER
Carefully read p. 84 (MAINTENANCE).
Do not use gasoline or flammable sol-
vents to wash the air cleaner, in order to
avoid fire or explosion.
Perform these maintenance operations
at one-half of the specified intervals, if
your vehicle is often used in rainy or
very dusty conditions, on unpaved
roads, or in any kind of competition.
Inspect the air cleaner to ensure that it has
not become clogged every 4,650 mi (7,500
km) or 12 months of use. Renew the air
cleaner every 9,350 mi (15,000 km).
The air cleaner must be inspected more
frequently, cleaned if necessary, and repla-
ced more frequently if the vehicle is used
on dusty or wet roads.
More frequent cleaning of the air cleaner is
suggested, especially if your bike is used
under very dusty conditions.
The air cleaner must not be used for
more than 9,350 mi (15,000 km) regard-
less of how many times it has been cle-
aned in the interval. Under very dusty or
dirty conditions, it is advisable to repla-
ce the air filter more often.
Before the cleaning operation, it is neces-
sary to remove the air cleaner from the
vehicle.
KEEP POLLUTING SUBSTANCES AND
COMPONENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DISPOSE OF POLLUTING SUBSTANCES
AND COMPONENTS PROPERLY.
◆
Every 4,650 mi (7,500 km) remove the
plug (1) so that any dirt that may have
accumulated inside the filter case can be
removed and disposed properly.
