WARNING
After reinstalling the fuel tank.
make sure that the fuel tank is
correctly positioned. If the fuel
tank is not installed properly. it
may come loose and interfere with
the rider's control.
CAUTION
Take care not to damage the fuel
tank hoses when raising the fuel
tank.
Cleaning the Element
(1) Carefully use an air hose to blow
the dust from the air cleaner ele-
ment.
CAUTION
Always apply air pressure to the
outside of the air cleaner element
only. If air pressure is used on the
inside. dirt will be forced into the
pores of the cleaner element re-
stricting the air flow through the
cleaner element.
(2) Reinstall the cleaned element or
new air cleaner element in re-
verse order of removal. Be abso-
lutely sure that the element is
securely in position and is seal-
ing properly. Replace the air
cleaner element with a new one
every 1200 km.
CAUTION
Before and during the cleaning op-
eration. carefully examine the ele-
ment for any tears in the materi-
al. A torn element must be re-
placed with a new noe.

CAUTION
.
If driving under dusty condi-
tions. the air cleaner element
must be cleaned or replaced
more frequently than it is with
periodic maintenance.
.
Never operate the engine with-
out the element in position.
Operating the engine without
the air cleaner element will in-
crease engine wear. Always be
sure that the air cleaner ele-
ment is in excellent operational
condition. The life of the en-
gine depends largely on this
single component.
SPARK PLUGS

cally from the spark plug with a
piece of hard wire or pin. Readjust

Whenever removing the carbon de-
posits. be sure to observe the opera-
tional color of each spark plug' s
porcelain tip. This color tells you
whether or not the standard spark
plug is suitable for your type of us-
age. A normal operating spark plug
should be very light brown in color.
If the spark plug is very white or
glazed appearing. it has been operat-
ing much too hot. This spark plug
should be replaced with the colder
plug.
