Canister
This model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the
following:
each hose connection, tighten if
loose.
each hose and the canister body
for damage, replace if damaged.
the canister breather hose is not
blocked off, clean if necessary.
EAU1988A
Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes for the oil level
to settle for an accurate reading,
and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-left side of the
crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

Cleaning the air filter element
The air filter element should be cleaned
or replaced at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean or, if necessary, re-
place the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove panel B. (See page 6-7.)
2. Remove the intake air shroud by
removing the screw and the quick
fastener screws.
3. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
4. Pull the air filter element out.5. Lightly tap the air filter element to
remove most of the dust and dirt,
and then blow the remaining dirt
out with compressed air as
shown. If the air filter element is
damaged, replace it.
6. Insert the 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]
7. Install the air filter case cover by
installing the screws. NOTICE:
Make sure that the fuel tank
overflow hose is not pinched.
