The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Have a Yamaha dealer replace
the air filter element more frequently if
you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas. In addition, the air filter check
hose must be frequently checked and
cleaned if necessary.

To clean the air filter check hose

1. Check the hose on the side of the

air filter case for accumulated dirt
or water.

2. If dirt or water is visible, remove

the hose, clean it, and then install
it.
