The pre filter should be inspected before each ride, and if
required, cleaned using the following procedure:
1. Lift up on the rear of the seat.
2. Pull the seat back and free of the tabs.
NOTE: When reinstalling seat, make sure the
slots in the seat engage the tabs in the fuel tank.
3. Remove clips (1) from air box cover and remove
cover (2). Inspect the gasket. It should adhere tightly
to the cover and seal all the way around.
