Valve Clearance - Suzuki RV125 Service Manual

• Remove the drain plug 1 to allow any water to drain out.
• Reinstall the cleaned air cleaner element in the reverse order
of removal.
"
Be sure to position the element snugly and correctly,
so that no incoming air will by-pass it. Remember, the
rapid wear of piston rings and the cylinder bore is
often caused by a defective or poorly fitted element.
"
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the air cleaner
element more frequently. The surest way to accelerate
engine wear is to operate the engine without the ele-
ment or to use a torn element. Make sure that the air
cleaner is in good condition at all times. The life of the
engine depends largely on this component!
