8. Carefully use an air hose to blow
the dust from the air cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE: Always apply air pressure to
the mesh side of the air cleaner ele-
ment only. If you apply air pressure to
the fabric side, dirt will be forced into
the pores of the element, restricting
the air flow through the element.
9. Reinstall the cleaned element or
new air cleaner element in reverse
order of removal. Be absolutely
sure that the element is securely
in position and is sealing properly.
NOTICE
A torn air cleaner element will
allow dirt to enter the engine and
can damage the engine.
Replace the air cleaner element
with a new one if it is torn. Care-
fully examine the air cleaner ele-
ment for tears during cleaning.
NOTICE
Failure to position the air cleaner
element properly can allow dirt to
bypass the air cleaner element.
This will cause engine damage.
Be sure to properly install the air
cleaner element.
NOTE: Be careful not to spray water
on the air cleaner box when cleaning
the motorcycle.
Reinstall the fuel tank.
NOTE: Check that the fuel tank drain
hose and breather hose are not bent
before reinstalling the fuel tank.
