ways turn ignition switch to the

take system. Otherwise, engine per-
formance degradation or damage
can occur. The engine is calibrated
to operate specifically with these
components.

conditions, it is recommended to add
engine air post-filter, supplied with the

in second section (clean chamber) of
engine air filter housing.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Guideline
Engine Air filter replacement fre-
quency should be adjusted according
to riding conditions as it is critical to en-
sure proper engine performance and
life span.
Engine Air filter replacement fre-
quency must be increased for the fol-
lowing severe riding conditions:
– Riding on dry sand.
– Riding on dry dirt covered surfaces.
– Riding on dry gravel trails or similar
conditions.
– Riding in areas with high concentra-
tion of seeds or crop husks.
– Riding in severe snow conditions.
NOTE: Riding in a group under these
conditions would increase even more
the air filter replacement frequency.
