MAINTENANCE CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE AND
CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE.
NOTICE
1.
Motorcycles equipped with a clamp-on screen air filter may have the filter removed and
cleaned with a low flash-point solvent.
2.
Motorcycles equipped with an air box may have the filter element removed for service. If dirt is
light, the pleated paper type element may be cleaned with compressed air. Excessive air
pressure will break down the fibers and clog the paper. Do not use excessive air pressure.
Large amounts of dirt will require that the filter element be replaced.
3.
Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the air box and drain any water or oil condensation.
Replace the plug after draining.
