the air filter
This model’s air filter has two filter ele-
ments. The sponge-type primary filter
element can be cleaned, lubricated,
and re-used. The secondary filter ele-
ment is an oil-coated paper type which
must only be replaced.
The air filter elements should be main-
tained at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Service the air filter elements
more frequently if you ride in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
