6. Remove the screws. Remove the
air cleaner element 7.
7. Carefully use an air hose to blow
the dust from the air cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE: Always apply air pressure to
the mesh side of the air cleaner ele-
ment only. If you apply air pressure to
the fabric side, dirt will be forced into
the pores of the element, restricting
the air flow through the element.
NOTICE
A torn air cleaner element will
allow dirt to enter the engine and
can damage the engine.
Replace the air cleaner element
with a new one if it is torn. Care-
fully examine the air cleaner ele-
ment for tears during cleaning.
8. Reinstall the air cleaner element
in reverse order of removal. Be
absolutely sure that the element is
securely in position and is sealing
properly.
NOTICE
Failure to position the air cleaner
element properly can allow dirt to
bypass the air cleaner element.
This will cause engine damage.
Be sure to properly install the air
cleaner element.
NOTE: Be careful not to spray water
on the air cleaner box when cleaning
the motorcycle.
