Remove the air filter from the filter holder and wash thoroughly in special
cleaning fluid. Products required for a professional maintenance of the air
filter are available from TWIN AIR. Press out the water from the air filter –
but do not wring – and allow the filter to dry. Lubricate the dry air filter
thoroughly with high-grade filter oil, rubbing to coat the entire filter
surface.
Clean the filter box and cover and check the carburetor connection boot for
