MAINTENANCE AND TUNE-UP

PROCEDURES
This section describes the servicing procedures for each item of
the Periodic Maintenance requirements.
AIR CLEANER
Inspect every 6 000 km
(4000
miles, 6 months).
Replace every 18 000 km (11 000 miles, 18 months).
• Remove the front and rear seats. (c::::rS-6)
• Lift and support the fuel tank. (c::::rS-S)
• Remove the air cleaner element by removing the screws.
• Carefully use air hose to blow the dust from the cleaner ele-
ment.
NOTE:
Always apply
air
pressure on the throttle body side of the
air
cleaner element. If
air
pressure is applied improperly, dirt will be
forced into the pores of the
air
cleaner element thus restricting
air
flow through the
air
cleaner element.
• Reinstall the cleaned or new air cleaner element in the
reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
If driving under dusty conditions, clean the
air
cleaner element
more frequently. Make sure that the
air
cleaner is in
good
condi-
tion at
all
times. The life
of
the engine depends largely on this
component.
• Remove the drain plug from the air cleaner box to allow any
water to drain out.
