Proper air filter maintenance is extremely important for off-road vehicles. A dirty, water-soaked, worn-out
air filter will allow dirt, dust, mud or other impurities to pass into the engine. If you are riding in wet and/or
muddy areas, you should service the air filter more often. Always replace the air filter with a genuine
Xmotos filter specifically designed for your model or a filter of equal quality.
Failure to maintain the filter can/may cause engine wear or damage, expensive repairs, low engine power,
low fuel mileage, carbon build up on valves and foul the spark plug.
1.
Loosen the clamp that is holding the air filter on to the carburetor.
2.
Once you have loosened the clamp take out the air filter.
3.
If the filter has a tear or break in the filter element, it must be replaced.
4.
Once the filter is removed, wash it clean with a non-flammable cleaning solvent. Then wash in hot,
soapy water, rinse well. Then allow the filter to dry well.
5.
When the filter is thoroughly dry, spray the filter with a good quality air filter oil. Saturate the filter with
the oil, rubbing it with both hands. Squeeze out any excess.
6.
Assemble the filter back in being careful not to tear the filter.
7.
Tighten the clamp on the filter.
Improper installation of the air filter assembly
cam/may allow dirt to enter the engine and
cause rapid wear of the piston rings and cylinder.
NOTICE
Improper or lack of proper air filter maintenance
can cause poor performance.
