PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP PROCEDURES 2-4
AIR CLEANERS
Clean every 6000 km (4000 miles) and
replace every 12000 km (7500 miles).
Remove the seat, frame covers and fuel tank.
Remove the right and left side frame head covers (Photo A),
then remove the right and left air cleaner mounting screws
(Photo 9).
Disconnect the air cleaner drain hose from the front side air
cleaner case (Photo C).
Loosen the two clamp screws and disconnect the joint hose
from the carburetor, then rise up the front side air cleaner
assembly (Photo D).
Remove the four screws and pull out the front side air
cleaner element (Photo E).
Loosen the four screws and pull out the rear side air cleaner
element (Photo F).
Carefully use an air hose to blow the dust from the air
cleaner elements (Photo G).
CAUTION:
Always apply an air pressure on the outside of the air cleaner
elements. If air pressure is applied on the inside, dirt will be
forced into the pores of the cleaner element thus restricting
air flow through the cleaner element.
l
Reinstall the cleaned elements or new ones in reverse order
of removal,
CAUTION:
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air cleaner elements
more frequently. The surest way to accelerate engine wear is
to use the engine without the elements or to use ruptured
elements. Make sure that the air cleaners are in good condition
at all times. Life of the engine depends largely on these com-
ponents
