Important
A clogged air filter will reduce air intake and engine power, increase fuel consumption and cause a build up of deposits on
the spark plugs. Do not run the engine without the air filter. This will draw foreign material present in the air into the
engine and may damage the engine.
Install the cartridge in the airbox cover and refit all the removed parts; tighten the screws (1) to a torque of 5 Nm ±10%
and the screw (4) to a torque of 6 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3,
Frame torque settings).
