ATV 125 - Inspection and Maintenance

SEAT REMOVAL

Remove the seat by pulling the seat lock lever upward and pull up the seat

at the rear. Insert the projection on the front of the seat into the holder and

push down on the seat at rear to install the seat.

Always make sure the seat is securely ﬁtted.

AIR CLEANER

If the air cleaner element is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake

resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel con-

sumption.

1. Do not operate the engine without the air cleaner element in place or

severe damage may result.

2. If you usually ride in dusty areas or regularly operate the vehicle wet,

muddy conditions, you must inspect the air cleaner element more

frequently than shown in the periodic maintenance chart. If at any time,

the air cleaner element is submerged in water, immediately clean the ele-

ment and the inside of the air cleaner case.
