To maintain the highest performance from
your engine and to reduce excessive wear
that could cause engine failure the engine
requires a continuous flow of clean air. air
is taken into the engine through an air filter
to clean the air prior to mixing it with fuel
and oil in the carburetor.
During normal operation the filter accumulates
dirt from the air and will need to be cleaned
to maintain the proper air flow. The filter
should be cleaned every 30 days, more often
if you ride in a dusty or dirty environment
and the element should be replaced every
year.
The air filter box is located on the left of
the engine under the set.
It is a black rectangular box.
To Clean The Filter
Wash the element in a non-flammable
solvent such as air-filter cleaner from your
local auto parts dealer.
1. Dry the element completely before continuing.
2. Soak the element in clean engine oil until
completely saturated.
3. Squeeze out the excess oil until the
element does not drip any oil.
4. Allow the element to dry then reinstall
the element and cover.
