The air cleaner element needs to be
cleaned or replaced periodically (see
chart for cleaning/replacement
intervals). The air filter element
will need to be cleaned more often
if Mini Bike is ridden in muddy, wet,
or dusty conditions. A clean air filter
will help the Mini Bike run at peak
performance allowing better gas
mileage, more power and will protect
the engine from the damaging ef-
fects of dirt entering the engine.
Clean air filter frequently if Mini
Bike is driven in wet, muddy or
dusty conditions.
Driving in the above conditions
without cleaning frequently can
plug up the air filter which can
cause poor gas mileage, low
power and cause damage to the
engine.
