AIR FILTER
A clogged air filter restricts the engines air intake, increasing fuel
consumption, reducing engine performance, and leading to spark
plug fouling. The air filter must be inspected, cleaned, and replaced
in accordance with the periodic maintenance schedule. In dusty
environments and riding conditions, the air filter should be cleaned
more frequently than the recommended interval. The air filter should
be replace if it is damaged.
AIR FILTER INSPECTION
1. Unscrew the air box door screws and remove the air box door.
2. Locate the air filter hose clamp and loosen until the filter can be slid
off the intake tube.
3. Place a clean, lint-free towel in the intake to prevent dirt or other
foreign material from entering the intake.
4. Inspect the air filter for damage or dirt. If any part of the filter is
damaged, the filter must be replaced.
5. The filter may be cleaned lightly with air and washed with a mild
solvent. Do not use compressed air.
6. Carefully reconnect the air filter and refasten the the air box door
panel.
