Caution: If the machine i s continual& ridden
in continuously wet or dusty conditions, the
filter should be cleaned mom frequently.
1 Remove the screws securing the air filter
cover and detach the cover (see illustration).
Remove the filter element (see illustration).
2 Wash the filter in hot soapy water, then
blow dry using compressed air.
3 Soak the air filter in a mixture of petrol and
10% two-stroke oil, then squeeze out the
excess liquid, making sure you do not
damage the filter by twisting it.
4 Allow the filter to dry for a while, then fit it
back into the housing and install the cover
and tighten the screws securely.
5 If the filter is excessively dirty and cannot
be cleaned properly, or is torn or damaged in
any way, renew it. The element can be
cleaned as described, although note that
Peugeot actually recommend fitting a new
element at 3000 mile (5000 km) intervals.

Conventional battery
1 Remove the battery access panel and the
battery retaining strap, and partially lift the
battery out of its holder (see Chapter 9).
Check the electrolyte level which is visible
through the translucent battery case
-
it
should be between the UPPER and LOWER
level marks.
2 If the electrolyte is low, disconnect the
battery terminals (see Chapter 9) and move
the battery to the work bench. Remove the
cell caps and fill each cell to the upper level
mark with distilled water (see illustration). Do
not use tap water, and do not overfill. The cell
holes are quite small, so it may help to use a
clean plastic squeeze bottle with a small
spout to add the water. Install the battery cell
caps, tightening them securely, then install
the battery (see Chapter 9).
Maintenance-fme battery
3 On mach~nes fitted with a sealed battery,
no maintenance is required. Note: Do not
attempt to remove the battery caps to check
the electrolyte level or battery specific gravity.
Removal will damage the caps, resulting In
electrolyte leakage and battery damage. All
that should be done is to check that its
terminals are clean and tight and that the

jeopardised.
2 Check the brake levers for looseness,
rough action, excessive play and other
damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts
with new ones (see Chapter 8).
3 Make sure all brake fasteners are tight.
Check the brake pads (disc brake) and brake
shoes (drum brake) for wear (see Sections 8
and 9).
4 Where disc brakes are fitted, make sure the
fluid level in the hydraulic reservoir is correct
(see Daily (,re-ride) checks). Look for leaks at
the hose connections and check for cracks
and abrasions in the hoses and renew them if
necessary (see Chapter 8). If the lever action
is spongy, bleed the brakes (see Chapter 8).
5 Where drum brakes are fitted, check the
cable for damage or stiff action (see Section 5).
6 Make sure the brake light operates when
each brake lever is pulled in. The brake light
switches are not adjustable. If they fail to
operate properly, check them (see Chapter 9).

1 The lever pivots should be lubricated
periodically to reduce wear and ensure safe
and trouble-free operation.
2 In order for the lubricant to be applied
where it will do the most good, the lever
should be removed (see Chapter 8). However,
if chain and cable lubricant is being used, it
can be applied to the pivot joint gaps and will
