Air Cleaner
Proper air cleaner maintenance is very important for off-road vehicles.
A dirty, watersoaked, worn-out, or defective air cleaner will allow dirt,
dust, mud, and other impurities to pass into the engine.
Service the air cleaner more frequently if you ride in unusually wet or
dusty areas. Your
Certified Motorcycle Mechanic
can help you determine
the correct service interval for your riding conditions.
Your motorcycle’s air cleaner has very specific performance requirements.
Use a new Thumpstar Genuine air cleaner specified for your model or
an air cleaner of equal quality.
NOTICE:
Using the wrong air cleaner may result in premature engine wear.
Proper air cleaner maintenance can prevent premature engine wear or
damage, expensive repairs, low engine power, poor gas mileage, and
spark plug fouling.
Improper or lack of proper air cleaner maintenance can cause poor
performance and premature engine wear.
