Air filter
A dirty air filter blocks the passage of air, reduces engine power
and increases fuel consumption. For these reasons, it is essen-
tial to maintain the oil filter on a regular basis.
To gain access to the filter, follow these steps:
– Remove the saddle.
– Lift and rotate battery 1.
– Release filter fastener 2.
– Pull out air filter 3.
– Carefully wash the filter in soap and cold water or using a suit-
able detergent.
– Dry the filter.
– Wet the filter with filter oil, taking care to remove any excess
oil so as to prevent dripping.
WARNING: Do not clean the filter in foam containing
petrol or petroleum as these substances may corrode it.
Do not clean the filter with hot water.
Do not start the engine if the air filter is not in place: dust and dirt
getting into the engine could cause damage and excessive
wear.
– If necessary, also clean the inside of the filter casing.
– When refitting, make sure of the seal of the rubber gasket.
– Reattach filter fastener 2.
WARNING: After working on the filter, ensure that no ob-
ject is left inside the filter casing.
Clean the filter every time the vehicle is used off road.
