AIR CLEANER
The air cleaner element must be kept
clean to provide good engine power
and gas mileage. If you use your vehi-
cle under normal, low-stress condi-
tions, you should service the air
cleaner at the intervals specified. If
you ride in dusty, wet, or muddy con-
ditions, you will need to inspect the air
cleaner element much more fre-
quently. Use the following procedure
to remove the element and inspect it.
CAUTION
Failure to use the correct oil can
damage your ATV.
Engine damage may occur if you
use oil that does not meet
Suzuki’s specifications.
Be sure to use the oil specified in
the FUEL, OIL AND ENGINE
COOLANT RECOMMENDATION
section.
WARNING
Operating the engine without the
air cleaner element in place can be
hazardous.
A flame can spit back from the

without the air cleaner element to
stop it. Severe engine damage can
also occur if dirt enters the engine
due to running the engine without
the air cleaner element.
Never run the engine without the
air cleaner element in place.
