Air Filter Cleaning
Tools recommended for air filter maintenance:
5 mm hex key (Allen)
Foam filter oil
1. Removed seat with the 5mm hex key.
2. Unhook the air filter wire from its perch
3. Carefully remove the air filter and frame out the top
of the airbox making sure not to dislodge any dirt
into the intake tract.
4. Clean the filter in a nonflammable solvent to
remove the filter oil.
Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other highly
volatile petroleum product. Diesel fuel, mineral spirits,
or kerosene would be preferred but caution should still
be taken.
5. Clean the filter in hot soapy water to remove all dirt
particles.
6. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
7. Saturate with filter oil and remove excess.
NOTE: It is very important to keep the air filter clean
and properly oiled with high quality water-resistant
foam filter oil. Apply oil consistently because varied
amounts of oil will affect carburetor jetting.
8. Reinstall the filter assembly by pushing it down and forward into the airbox
making sure the lip of the filter cage is properly seated into its receptacle
(figure 5). Reinstall the air filter cap and holding wire.
CAUTION:
Double check to insure that the filter is pushed in tight at the bottom
NOTE: Make sure you change or clean your filter after each moto. We
recommend carrying multiple filters in your toolbox, one for each practice session
and moto.
Fork Maintenance
Cobra strongly recommends that a professional service technician conduct all
internal maintenance other than changing springs and oil. This will help to ensure
safe and consistent operation.
