Air filter
 This model’s air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element. This ele-
ment cannot be cleaned with compressed air, doing so will only damage it.
 The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service  Regularly check the front and rear brake fluid levels. Replenish if necessary.
 Every two years replace the rear brake master cylinder, the internal compo-
nents of the front brake master cylinder, the brake calipers, and change the
brake fluid.
 Replace the brake hoses every four years or sooner if cracked or damaged.
