ment seat.
9. Install the air filter element on the guide.
10. Install the air filter element assembly and
parts removed for access.NOTE:_ The air filter element should be cleaned every 20–
40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated more
often if the machine is operated in extremely dusty
areas. Each time air filter element maintenance is
performed, check the air inlet to the filter case for
obstructions. Check the air cleaner rubber joint to
the carburetor and manifold fittings for an airtight
seal. Tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor brake performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the master
cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down.
