Replacing the air filter ele-
ment and cleaning the check
hoses
The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas. In addition,
the air filter check hoses must be fre-
quently checked and cleaned if neces-
sary.
To replace the air filter element
1. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
2. Pull the air filter element out.
3. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter
element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
