Replacing the air filter
The air filter must be replaced at the intervals indicated in the
periodic maintenance table shown in the Warranty Booklet.
To access the filter box, raise the fuel tank (page 45).
To remove the filter, unhook the fastening tabs (1) on the
cover on both sides of the filter box and remove the cover
(2,
fig. 40).
Remove the filter cartridge (3, fig. 41) and replace it.
Important
A dirty filter reduces the amount of intake air, which
increases fuel consumption, reduces engine power and
causes deposits to form on the spark plugs.
Do not use the motorcycle without a filter; as impurities in
the air could get into the engine and cause damage.
Reinstall the filter correctly in the holder in the filter box,
as shown in the figure, and reinstall all the parts originally
removed.
Important
If using the machine on wet or dusty roads, increase
the replacement frequency indicated in the periodic
maintenance table shown in the Warranty Booklet.
