Replacing the air filter element
The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the rider seat. (See page
4-14.)
2. Remove the fuel tank cowling bolts
on both sides.
3. Pull the bottom of the cowling out-
ward on both sides, then remove
the cowling by moving it forward,
and then lifting it up.
4. Remove the fuel tank bolt on both
sides.
5. Lift the front of the fuel tank, and
carefully tilt it back and away from
the air filter case, but do not dis-
connect the fuel hoses.
WARNING! Make sure that the
fuel tank is well supported. Do
not tilt or pull the fuel tank too
much, otherwise the fuel hoses
may come loose, which could
cause fuel leakage and a fire
hazard.
