Changing the air filter
(fig. 40)
The air filter must be renewed at the intervals indicated in the
periodic maintenance table shown in the Warranty Booklet.
To access the airbox, lift the fuel tank as described in
(page 47).
To remove the filter, release the clips (1) on both sides of
the airbox cover and remove the cover (2,
fig. 40).
Remove the old filter cartridge (3, fig. 41) and fit a new one.
Important
A dirty filter reduces the amount of intake air, which
increases fuel consumption, reduces engine power and
causes deposits to form on the spark plugs.
Do not use the motorcycle without a filter; as impurities in
the air could get into the engine and cause damage.
Reinstall the filter correctly in its housing in the airbox, as
shown in the figure, and refit all the parts originally removed.
Important
If using the machine on wet or dusty roads, the air
filter cartridges should be renewed more frequently than
the intervals in the periodic maintenance table in the
Warranty Booklet.
