Procedure
1. Removed the seat with a 4 mm Allen wrench.
2. Remove the filter/air inlet boot from the back of the carburetor with a Phillips
screwdriver
3. Pull the filter / boot assembly out the top of the air box.
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 or kerosene would be preferred but caution should still be taken. Hot
soapy water works well.
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: The Cobra is equipped with a special designed Air box. It is very
important to keep the air filter clean and properly oiled with high quality water-
resistant foam filter oil. It’s very important to oil your filter consistently each time
because varied amounts of oil will change your carburetor jetting.
8.
Reinstall the filter / boot assembly making sure the letters “CM” are visible
between the carburetor and air box (figure 4).
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.
Fork Maintenance
Cobra strongly recommends that a professional service technician conduct all
internal maintenance other than changing springs and oil. This will help to ensure
safe and consistent operation.
