Changing the air filter (fig. 43 and 44) Replace air filter at the required intervals shown in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card). The air box is accessible after lifting the fuel tank. Undo the clips (1) of the cover on both sides of the air box, then remove cover (2). Remove the filter (3, fig. 44) and fit a new one. Important A clogged filter will reduce air intake, increase fuel consumption, reduce engine power, and foul the spark plugs. Do not use the motorcycle without filter or suspended matters could get into the engine and cause damage. Install the filter properly into its seat in the air box as shown in figure 47 and refit all the parts you have removed. Important If you are using the motorcycle on dusty or very wet roads, replace filter more frequently than recommended intervals (see Warranty Card). 2 E 1 fig. 43 3 fig. 44 47
