NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to
dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads wear or
when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refilling, it may indicate a serious problem.

Check the air cleaner filter as follows:
Remove the V-bank cover ( P. 541)
Release the clips.
Lift the cover and take out the air
cleaner filter.
Inspect the outer surface of the filter,
and replace the filter if it is extremely
dirty. If the filter is only moderately
dusty, use compressed air to blow dust
out of the filter.
Clean or replace the both left and
right side filters at the same time.
Fully engage the claws and then
secure the upper cover of the air
cleaner case using the latches.
