Air Filter Service

air box cover clips, and
remove the air box cover.
2. Loosen the clamp and remove
the filter.
3. Remove the fabric type
pre-filter (1) from the main

let dry.
4. Reinstall the pre-filter over the
main filter. (Replace the main
filter if needed.)

Breather Filter/Hose
1. To access the breather filter (3), remove the left side panel as

between the engine and air box.
2. Remove the clamps and pull the filter out of the hoses.
NOTE: It’s not necessary to remove the lower hose from the
engine.
3. Inspect the filter for debris. Blow gently through the filter in the
direction of the arrow to check for clogging. Replace if needed.
4. Check the hoses for cracks, deterioration, abrasion, or leaks.
Replace as needed.
5. Reinstall the filter and secure the clamps. NOTE: The filter is
effective with the arrow pointing in either direction.
