MAINTENANCE

Radiator Coolant Level
NOTE: This procedure is only required if the cooling
system has been drained for maintenance and/or
repair. However, if the recovery bottle has run dry,
or if overheating is evident, the level in the radiator
should be inspected via the radiator cap first and
coolant added if necessary.
NOTE: Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not
allow the recovery system to function properly.
To Access the Radiator Pressure Cap:
Lift the front cargo cover. Remove access cover (A) by placing
your fingers under the front of the cover and pulling upward.
The radiator cap (B) is now accessible.
Air Filter Service
It is recommended that the air filter and pre filter be replaced
annually. When riding in extremely dusty conditions,
replacement is required more often.
The pre filter should be inspected before each ride, and if
required, cleaned using the following procedure:
1. Lift up on the rear of the seat.
2. Pull the seat back and free of the tabs.
NOTE: When reinstalling seat, make sure the slots
in the seat engage the tabs in the fuel tank.
3. Remove clips (A) from air box cover and remove cover.
Inspect the gasket. It should adhere tightly to the cover and
seal all the way around.
4. Loosen clamp and remove air filter assembly.
Cleaning:
5. Slip the pre-filter element off of main element. Clean the
pre filter with hot soapy water.
6. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7. Inspect element for tears or damage.
8. Inspect main filter and replace if necessary. If the filter has
been soaked with fuel or oil it must be replaced.
Installation:
9. Reinstall pre-filter element over main filter. Be sure the
element covers entire surface of main filter without folds,
creases, or gaps.
10. Reinstall filter on main filter mount. Place filter clamp over
the assembly and tighten.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator pressure cap when the
engine is warm or hot. Escaping steam and fluid
can cause severe burns. The engine must be
allowed to cool before removing the pressure cap.
