INSTALLATION
1. See Figure 1-44. Place filter element (1) on baseplate
(2).
2. See Figure 1-40. Position air cleaner cover (1) over
baseplate. Make sure air filter remains correctly posi-
tioned.
3. Install air cleaner cover by latching latch tabs to base-
plate.
4. For XB12 models, verify that the actuator cable and har-
ness are located in the grooves in the air cleaner cover.
CAUTION
The vent tube is now a larger outer diameter than previ-
ous and requires extra effort to install into the functional
air cleaner assembly. Failure to properly install vent line
will result in cosmetic damage to the inside of the trans-
lucent intake cover assembly.
5. Position fuel vent tube (3) in groove on top of air cleaner
cover and connect to fuel vent valve (6). Secure vent
tube to vent valve with new cable strap.
NOTE
If necessary, adjust interactive exhaust cable. See 1.16
INTERACTIVE EXHAUST CABLE (XB12 MODELS).
6. Install intake cover assembly with four fasteners and
nylon washers. Tighten fasteners to 12-36 in-lbs (4-
4 Nm).
