Air Filter

Air Filter Maintenance Guideline
As with any ATV, air filter maintenance
is critical to ensure proper engine per-
formance and life span.
Air filter maintenance should be ad-
justed according to riding conditions.
Air filter maintenance must be in-
creased in frequency and oil must be
added to the foam filter for the follow-
ing dusty conditions:
– Riding on dry sand.
– Riding on dry dirt covered surfaces.
– Riding on dry gravel trails or similar
conditions.
NOTE: Riding in a group in these con-
ditions would increase even more the
air filter maintenance. Refer to
FILTER CLEANING AND OILING
subsection for maintenance proce-
dure.
