Air filter

This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be
cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.

The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service

After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly
check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.

Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.

Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

CAUTION:
EAS00059
CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS
The following procedure applies to all of the
spark plugs.
1. Remove:

side cowlings

bottom cowlings
Refer to “COWLINGS”.
2. Remove:

radiator upper bolts

radiator lower bolt
Refer to “RADIATOR” in chapter 6.
3. Remove:

ignition coils

spark plugs
Before removing the spark plugs, blow away
any dirt accumulated in the spark plug wells
with compressed air to prevent it from fal-
ling into the cylinders.
4. Check:

spark plug type

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMFI
NOTE: Diagnostic mode table
Switch the meter display from the regular mode to the diagnosis mode. To switch the display, refer to
“DIAGNOSTIC MODE”.

Check the intake air temperature and coolant temperature as close as possible to the intake air tem-
perature sensor and the coolant temperature sensor respectively.

If it is not possible to check it with an atmospheric pressure gauge, judge it by using 101.3 kPa as the
standard.

If it is not possible to check the intake air temperature, use the ambient temperature as reference.
