CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Do not use gasoline or solvents to clean filter element.
Flammable cleaning agents can cause an intake system
fire, which could result in death or serious injury. (00101a)
1. Check filter element. Hold filter element up to strong light
source. The element can be considered sufficiently clean
if light is uniformly visible through the element.
2. Thoroughly clean baseplate and inside of air cleaner cover.
3. See Figure 1-42. Make sure two crankcase breather hoses
(1) and intake air sensor (2) are captured in baseplate
behind velocity stack (3).

2. Position air cleaner cover over baseplate. Make sure air
filter remains correctly positioned.

4. For XB12 models, verify that the actuator cable and har-
ness are located in the grooves in the air cleaner cover.
NOTE
The vent tube is now a larger outer diameter than previous and
requires extra effort to install into the functional air cleaner
assembly. Failure to properly install vent line will result in cos-
metic damage to the inside of the translucent intake cover
assembly.
5. Position fuel vent tube in groove on top of air cleaner cover
and connect to fuel vent valve. Secure vent tube to vent
valve with new cable strap.

locked in position. While riding, a loose seat can shift
causing loss of control, which could result in death or
