• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated pa- per element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid
damaging it.
• The engine air filter element and sub air filter element need to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more frequently when
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always chan- ge 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 cyl- inders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
