TIP
● Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
●
This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with
compressed air to avoid damaging it.
●
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more frequent-
ly when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●
Hydraulic brake service
●
After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid
levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
●
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
●
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
