Cleaning the air filter *
A dirty air filter impairs the air-flow rate, reduces the engine performance,
and increases the fuel consumption. In extreme cases, dirt may even get
into the engine and cause damage. Therefore, change the air filter in
regular intervals.
To service the air filter, remove the seat, open the hose clamp
1
and lift the
air filter from the filter box.

should be put over the air filter on dusty race courses to pre-
vent dirt from accumulating in the air filter.
Replacing the glass fiber yarn packing of the silencer *
The silencer is filled with glass-fiber yarn to reduce the noise. The effect of
heat causes the glass fiber yarn to become loose. This may lead to a loss of
performance and reduce the silencer's muffling power.
To replace the glass-fiber yarn, remove the silencer. Bore out all 8 rivets and
disassemble the silencer. Clean parts and check for cracks.
For easy mounting of the glass-fiber yarn pack, wrap fabric tape around the
rear end of the exhaust pipe
4
. Slide the glass-fiber yarn pack onto the
exhaust pipe. Mount the outer pipe and fix in the front with 4 rivets. Center
the exhaust pipe. Mount the end cap and the rivets.
