Air Filter Cleaning
Tools recommended for air filter maintenance:
•
5 mm hex key (Allen)
•
Foam filter oil
Procedure
1. Removed seat with the 5mm hex key.
2. Unhook the air filter wire from its perch
3. Carefully remove the air filter and
frame out the top of the airbox making
sure not to dislodge any dirt into the
intake tract.
4. Clean the filter in a nonflammable
solvent to remove the filter oil.
Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or
other highly volatile petroleum product. Diesel fuel, mineral spirits, or kerosene
would be preferred but caution should still be taken.
5. Clean the filter in hot soapy water to remove all dirt particles.
6. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
7. Saturate with filter oil and remove
excess.
NOTE:
It is very important to keep the air filter
clean and properly oiled with high quality
water-resistant foam filter oil. Apply oil
consistently because varied amounts of oil
will affect carburetor jetting.
8.
Reinstall
the filter assembly by pushing
it down and forward into the airbox
making sure the lip of the filter cage is
properly seated into its receptacle
(figure 5). Reinstall the air filter cap and
holding wire.
CAUTION:
Double check to insure that the filter is pushed in tight at the bottom
NOTE:
Make sure you change or clean your filter after each moto. We recommend
carrying multiple filters in your toolbox, one for each practice session and moto.
