Air Filter Cleaning - Cobra 2007 CX65 Owner's Manual

Air Filter Cleaning

Tools recommended for air filter maintenance:
• 4 mm hex key (Allen)
• Foam filter oil
Procedure
1. Removed seat with the 4mm hex key.
2. Unhook the air filter wire from its perch
3. Carefully remove the air filter and
frame out the top of the airbox making
sure not to dislodge any dirt into the
intake tract.
4. Clean the filter in a nonflammable
solvent to remove the filter oil.
Do not clean the air filter with gasoline or other highly volatile petroleum product.
Diesel fuel or kerosene would be preferred but caution should still be taken. Hot
soapy water works well.
5. Clean the filter in hot soapy water to
remove all dirt particles.
6. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
7. Saturate with filter oil and remove
excess.
8. Apply a thin coating of grease around
the sealing lip of the filter.
NOTE:
It is very important to keep the air filter clean
and properly oiled with high quality water-
resistant foam filter
consistently because varied amounts of oil
will affect carburetor jetting.
9. Reinstall the filter assembly by pushing
it down and forward into the airbox
making sure the lip of the filter cage is properly seated into its receptacle
(figure 5). Reinstall the air filter cap and holding wire.
NOTE:
Make sure you change or clean your filter after each moto. We recommend
carrying multiple filters in your toolbox, one for each practice session and moto.
