Air filter and V-belt case air fil-
ter elements
The air filter element should be re-
placed and the V-belt case air filter el-
ement should be cleaned at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Service
the air filter elements more frequently if
you are riding in unusually wet or dusty
areas. The air filter check hose and V-
belt case air filter check hose must be
frequently checked and cleaned if nec-
essary.
Cleaning the air filter check hose
1. Check the hose on the rear side of
the air filter case for accumulated
dirt or water.
2. If dirt or water is visible, remove
the hose from the clamp, clean it,
and then install it.
If dirt or water was found in the check
hose, be sure to check the air filter ele-
ment for excessive dirt or damage and
replace it if necessary.
Replacing the air filter element
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out.
4. 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.
