AIR CLEANER

NOTE
Halve maintenance intervals if
the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty
conditions, on rough roads or for racing.
Check the air cleaner every 10000 km
(6250 mi) or 12 months. Change it every
20000 km (12500 mi) or more frequently
when you ride on dusty or wet roads.
In this case, clean the air cleaner after
each ride following the partial cleaning
procedure described below.
CAUTION
Cleaning the filter more frequently does
not eliminate the need to change the
filter at the specified intervals. Do not
start the engine when the air cleaner is
not in place. Do not clean the filter
element with petrol or solvents. These
products may cause the fuel to ignite in
the fuel system, leading to personal
injury and vehicle damage.
