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.
❙
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.
❙
Inspecting for Damage
Inspect the tires for cuts,
slits, or cracks that
exposes fabric or cords, or
nails or other foreign
objects embedded in the
side of the tire or the
tread. Also inspect for
bumps or bulges in the
side walls of the tires.
❙
Inspecting for Abnormal Wear
Inspect the tires for signs
of abnormal wear on the
contact surface.
