The air cleaner is located under the front
center cover.
If the air cleaner element has become
clogged with dust, intake resistance will be
increased, with a resultant decrease in
power output and an increase in fuel
consumption.
If riding under severe conditions must be
cleaned or replaced more frequently than
maintenance schedule. Check and clean
the air cleaner element periodically
according to the following procedure.
AIR CLEANER
CAUTION
Never operate the engine without the
element in position.
Operating the engine without the air
cleaner element will increase engine
wear. Always be sure that the air
cleaner element is in excellent
operational condition.
The life of the engine depends largely
on this single component.
CAUTION
If the air cleaner element is polluted it
will result in starting difficulty, engine
output reduced, combustion efficiency
decline, and sooty smoke (black
smoke). At this time, inspect and clean
the air cleaner element and confirm.
CAUTION
●
Keep the battery away from fires.
●
When disconnecting the battery
wire, be sure to remove the negative
⊖
battery wire first with the ignition
switch “OFF” position, then remove
the positive
⊕
battery wire.
When reinstalling the battery, be
sure to connect the positive
⊕
battery wire first, then connect the
negative
⊖
battery wire.
●
Ensure the battery wires are
fastened tightly.
●
Incorrect installation of the battery
will reverse the terminal position
resulting in possible electrical
system damage due to incorrect
battery lead connection.
The red lead wire must go to the
positive
⊕
terminal and the black (or
black with white tracer) lead wire
must go to the negative
⊖
terminal.
●
Never charge a battery while still in
the machine as damage may result
to the battery or regulator / rectifier.
