REMOVAL
CAUTION
Install air filter before running engine. Failure to do so
can draw debris into the engine and could result in
engine damage. (00207a)
Check air cleaner filter element:
Inspect at the 1000 mile (1600 km) service interval and
at every 5000 mile (8000 km) service interval thereafter.
Replace at every 20,000 mile (32,000 km) service interval.
NOTES
Inspect and replace air cleaner filter element more often
if the motorcycle is run in a dusty environment.

tank bags or accessories may cover or restrict the air
intake screen. This may reduce power and performance.
