Air Filter Cleaning

Remove the seat

Squeeze the two tabs together as shown in figure A1
and pull the wire retainer up and out of the air box

The filter may now be pulled from the airbox

Clean the airbox of dirt and clean the filter sealing
surface of the old sealing grease.
CAUTION:
Pay particular attention to clean any particles from the
airbox between the filter location and the carburetor.
NOTE: Cobra has available a carburetor cover that
allows easy cleaning of the airbox.
1. Remove the air boot
Figure A1
2. Install the cover (RCMU0109) over the carburetor inlet
3. Spray out the airbox.
Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other highly volatile petroleum product. Diesel
fuel or kerosene would be preferred but caution should still be taken. Hot soapy water
works well.
1. Clean the filter in hot soapy water to remove all dirt particles.
2. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
3. Saturate with filter oil and remove excess.
NOTE:
It’s very important to oil your filter consistently each time because varied
amounts of oil will change your carburetor jetting.
4. Apply grease to the black sealing surface of the
filter and reinstall.
5. Squeeze the two finger tabs together on the wire
retainer and install into the airbox as in figure A2
6. Push the wire retainer down until it bottoms,
making sure the two bottom tabs on the retainer
go through the two associated holes in the
bottom of the airbox.
7. Push the two top retainer arms out so that they
properly insert into each side hole.
Figure A2
CAUTION:
If the side arms do not align with the associated holes it is quite likely that the legs did
not make it into the holes. Realign and try again.
