Air filter maintenance

This model is equipped with two air filter ele-
ments, a primary foam-type air filter and a
secondary paper-type air filter.
1. Primary air filter
2. Secondary air filter
The primary air filter is easily accessed and
should be cleaned and oiled every 300–600
km (200–400 mi).
The secondary air filter is more difficult to ac-
cess, cannot be cleaned, and should be re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer every 2000–5000
km (1200–3000 mi).

 check the air filter case check hoses for dirt
or water and clean as necessary.
 check the air filter case joints and the rub-
ber joints to and from the throttle body for
proper fit and sealing.

sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.
