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.

REPLACING THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT /
CHECKING THE FUEL AND BREATHER HOSESCHK
ADJ
CAUTION:
NOTE:
NOTE: 4. Install:
air filter case cover
Never operate the engine without the air fil-
ter element installed. Unfiltered air will
cause rapid wear of engine parts and may
damage the engine. Operating the engine
without the air filter element will also affect
the throttle bodies tuning, leading to poor
engine performance and possible overheat-
ing.
When installing the air filter element into the air
filter case cover, make sure their sealing sur-
faces are aligned to prevent any air leaks.
5. Install:
