Air Cleaner - Suzuki DL650A Owner's Manual

AIR CLEANER

The air cleaner element must be
kept clean to provide good engine
power and gas mileage. If you use
your motorcycle under normal
low-stress conditions, you should
service the air cleaner at the inter-
vals specified. If you ride in dusty,
wet, or muddy conditions, you will
need to inspect the air cleaner
element much more frequently.
Use the following procedure to
remove the element and inspect
it.
WARNING
Operating the engine without
the air cleaner element in place
could allow a flame to spit back
from the engine to the air
cleaner, or could allow dirt to
enter the engine. This could
cause a fire or severe engine
damage.
Never run the engine without
the air cleaner element prop-
erly installed.
CAUTION
Clean or replace the air cleaner
element frequently if the motor-
cycle is used in dusty, wet or
muddy conditions. The air
cleaner element will clog under
these conditions, and this may
cause engine damage, poor
performance, and poor fuel
economy.
Clean the air cleaner case and
element immediately if water
gets in the air cleaner box.
