Air cleaner filter element
Take out the air cleaner and visually check if it is dirty or
clogged.
1.
Remove the screws attaching the air cleaner cover
and remove the air cleaner cover.
2.
Remove the air cleaner element.
Soak the element in clean engine oil and squeeze out
the excess oil and then install the element and air
cleaner. Replace the air cleaner element at very 4000km.
The air cleaner requires more frequent cleaning or
replacing when ridden in unusually dusty areas. When
replacing, refer to P30-31 Periodic Inspection &
Maintenance Schedule.
Be careful not to allow water to enter the air cleaner;
otherwise it may result in hard starting.
If the air cleaner is not installed properly, dust may be
sucked into the cylinder directly to reduce engine
horsepower and affect the service life of engine.
