TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with
compressed air to avoid damaging it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V- belt air filter elements need to be serviced more frequent-
ly when riding in unusuall y wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service
After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regu larly 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 elementThe air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
To replace the air filter element 1. Remove panel C. (See page 7-8.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out. 4. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter
element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
[ECA10482]
5. Install the air filter case cover by in- stalling the screws.
6. Install the panel.
EAU33483
Adjusting the engine idling
speedThe engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
The engine should be warm before
making this adjustment. 1. Remove panel D. (See page 7-8.)
2. Check the engine idling speed and, if necessary, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning the idle adjust-
ing screw. To increase the engine
idling speed, turn the screw in di-
rection (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
