CLEANING THE AIRBOX FILTER
CAUTION
Be very careful not to allow any dirt or foreign matter
into the airbox when you have the filters removed.
Severe engine damage will result if foreign matter or
dirt enter the combustion chamber via the airbox.
Use only high quality foam air filter specific oils on
the filters. Local operating conditions may require
different air filter oils. Consult your authorized Can-
nondale motorsports dealer for available oil brands.
The air filter must be completely dry before applying
the air filter oil.
Make sure the airbox filter fits properly in the frame
so there are no gaps around the mating surfaces.
Use a high quality water-proof grease on the filter
where it contacts the frame to help guard against
unfiltered air entering the system.

Remove the fuel tank. See “Fuel” the Maintenance &
Adjustment section of this manual for how to properly
remove the fuel tank.

completely with a non-flammable or high-flash point
air-filter specific cleaning solvent. Do NOT use

excess water, and let the elements air dry thoroughly.
5. Inspect the airbox filter foam element, cover, and
