Common Faults and Troubleshooting
Service and Maintenance for the Air Filter
When dust builds up in the filter element of the air filter assembly, it
results in an increased resistance to air flow through the air intake
system. This leads to an overly rich fuel/air mixture that can reduce
power and increase fuel consumption. It is important the air filter be
cleaned or replaced on a regular basis. Riding in dusty conditions will
require more frequent filter maintenance.
Caution
* Do not use the following cleaning agents to clean paper filter
elements: Gasoline, low ignition-point solvent, acid, alkaline or
organic volatile oil.
Take off the screws
for the air filter
cover, and remove
the air filter cover.
Check whether there
is dust and dirt on
the sponge of the

and wipe off the dust

replaced. You can find them at your Wolf Brand dealership
Foam or cloth filter elements can be cleaned and reused
numerous times. You can wash them in warm water and a
simple detergent. Once dry you must treat them with a light
oil before reinstallation for them to filter correctly.
