O IL Using proper oil, and regularly checking, adding and changing oil will help extend the service life of your engine. Even top quality oil wears out and becomes thinner. Changing oil helps get rid of dirt and deposits in the engine.
Always replace the air filter with a genuine Cleveland CycleWerks filter specifically designed for your model or a filter of equal quality. Failure to maintain the filter can/may cause engine wear or damage, expensive repairs, low engine power, low fuel mileage, carbon build up on valves and foul the spark plug.
Adjusting the idle will not solve or compensate for a fault elsewhere in the engine. If you are having trouble, please contact your Cleveland CycleWerks dealer. The engine must be at normal operating temperature for an accurate adjustment. 1. If the engine is cold, start it up and let it warm up for 3-5 minutes then shut it off.
