Periodic inspection
AIR FILTER
Cleaning the filter
- It is important to periodically check the air filter.
- Inspect the filter and replace it if damaged to prevent dirt from entering the
carburettor.
- To clean it, use water and detergent, dry it and lubricate it with special filter
oil.
- Make sure that it is correctly fitted once clean.
ATTENTION:
- A clogged air filter will allow dirt to enter the engine causing excessive wear
and damage.
- Inspect it periodically. Clean if necessary.
- Clean the filter in a ventilated area and make sure that there are no sparks
or flames near the work place (including strong sources of light). Do not use
petrol to clean the filter as this may cause an explosion.
ATTENTION:
- At the bottom of the filter box, there is a flap that functions as a valve for
draining liquids and/or elements that accumulate inside the filter box.
- Make sure that this valve is operating correctly.
- Unscrew the cover located on the tail fairing of the motorcycle as shown in the
photograph.
- Remove the cover
