Cleaning the air filter element
and check hose
The air filter element should be cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Clean the air filter element more fre-
quently 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 element
1. Remove panel A. (See page 7-9.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out.
4. Remove the sponge material from
the air filter element frame, clean it
with solvent, and then squeeze the
remaining solvent out.
5. Apply oil of the recommended type
to the entire surface of the sponge
material, and then squeeze the ex-
cess oil out.
TIP
The sponge material should be wet but
not dripping.
6. Pull the sponge material over the
air filter element frame.
7. Insert the element into the air filter
case.
NOTICE:
Make sure that
the air filter element is properly
seated in the air filter case. The
engine should never be operat-
ed without the air filter element
installed, otherwise the pis-
ton(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
