5. Wash the air cleaner in clean non-flammable clean-
ing solvent. Then wash in hot, soapy water, rinse
well, and allow to dry thoroughly.
6. Clean the inside of the air cleaner housing.
•
Never use gasoline or low flash point solvents for
cleaning the air cleaner. A fire or explosion could
result.
NOTE:
•
The air cleaner is made in two pieces: inner and
outer, which cannot be separated.

ing, soak the air cleaner in clean Pro Honda Foam
Filter Oil or an equivalent air cleaner oil.
Apply air cleaner oil to the entire surface, inner and
outer, and rub it with both hands to saturate the air
cleaner with oil. Squeeze out excess oil.
8. Apply a thin coat of white lithium grease to the
sealing surface.
9. Assemble the air cleaner and holder.
Insert the tab to the hole, and the air cleaner retain-
ing bolt through the assembly.
