Maintenance
This motorcycle is equipped with a viscous type
air cleaner element which cannot be cleaned
with compressed air or otherwise without
degrading its performance.
If the filter becomes dirty, replace it with a new
one.
Service more frequently when riding in rain, at
full throttle, or after the motorcycle is washed
or overturned. Service if the deposit level can be
seen in the transparent section of the drain
tube.
If the drain tube overflows, the air filter may
become contaminated with engine oil causing
poor engine performance.
❙
Checking the Air Pressure
Visually inspect your tires and use an air
pressure gauge to measure the air pressure
before each off-road ride and whenever you
return to pavement after riding off-road. If you
only ride on pavement, check the pressure at
least once a month or any time you think the
tires look low. Always check air pressure when
your tires are cold.
If you decide to adjust the tire pressure for a
particular off-road riding condition, make
changes a little at a time.
NOTICE
Using coolant not specified for aluminum engines or
using ordinary tap water can cause corrosion.
