The air cleaner element needs to be
cleaned or replaced periodically (see
chart for cleaning/replacement
intervals). The air filter element will need
to be cleaned more often if Dirt Bike is
ridden in muddy, wet, or dusty conditions.
A clean air filter will help the Dirt Bike run
at peak performance allowing better gas
mileage, more power and will protect the
engine from the damaging effects of dirt
entering the engine.
Clean air filter frequently if Dirt
Bike is driven in wet, muddy or
dusty conditions.
Driving in the above conditions
without cleaning frequently can
plug up the air filter which can
cause poor gas mileage, low
power and cause damage to the
engine.
