Air filter maintenance
This model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).
TIP
Service the air filters more frequently when
operating in wet or dusy environments.
Whenever air filter maintenance is performed:

check the air inlet for obstructions and the
air filter case for dirt and foreign matter.

check the air filter case check hoses for dirt
or water and clean as necessary.

check the air filter case joints and the rub-
ber joints to and from the throttle body for
proper fit and sealing.

tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.
NOTICE
ECB02270
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage.
