Air Cleaner
Servicing Your Honda
Loosen the screw ( ) and remove the air cleaner assembly ( ) from
the air cleaner housing.
Unscrew the clamp ( ).
Remove the air cleaner ( ) from the air cleaner body (
).
Gently wash the air cleaner in clean, non-flammable (high flash
point) solvent such as kerosene
not petrol. After cleaning, gently
squeeze out the remaining solvent. Avoid twisting or wringing the air
cleaner. This can tear the foam.
Inspect for tears or cracks in the foam or seams of the air cleaner.
Replace the air cleaner if it is damaged.
Allow the air cleaner to dry thoroughly before applying oil. A wet air
cleaner will not fully absorb the oil.
Pour clean air filter oil over the entire surface of the air cleaner. Use
both hands to evenly spread the oil into the air cleaner. Gently
squeeze out any excess oil. (To keep your hands dry, place the air
cleaner in a clean plastic bag before spreading the oil into the air
cleaner.)
