AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner element has become
clogged with dust, intake resistance will
increase with a resultant decrease in power
output and an increase in fuel consumption.
If riding under dusty conditions, the air
cleaner element must be cleaned or
replaced more frequently than maintenance
schedule. Check and clean the air cleaner
element periodically according to the follow-
ing procedure.

WARNING
Operating the engine without the air
cleaner element in place could allow a
flame to spit back from the engine to the
air cleaner, or could allow dirt to enter
the engine. This could cause a fire or
severe engine damage.
Never run the engine without the air
cleaner element properly installed.
CAUTION
Clean or replace the air cleaner element
frequently if the motorcycle is used in
dusty, wet or muddy conditions. The air
cleaner element will clog under these
conditions, and this may cause engine
damage, poor performance, and poor
fuel economy.
Clean the air cleaner case and element
immediately if water gets in the air
cleaner box.
