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
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.
