Air Cleaner
A clogged air cleaner restricts the air intake, in-
creases fuel consumption, reduces engine power,
and can cause spark plug fouling. Inspect the air in-
take system, which includes the air filter and air duct

tor, before each race or practice session.
WARNING
Dirt in the engine can cause engine damage
or failure leading to an accident resulting in
serious injury. Regularly inspect the air in-
take system for dirt or dust.
If any dirt or
dust is found in the system, the entire sys-
tem must be cleaned to help prevent engine
damage or failure.
NOTICE
A clogged air cleaner will affect fuel mixture
to the engine and reduce engine power and
cause spark plug fouling.
NOTE

In dusty areas, the element should be cleaned
more frequently than recommended interval.
○
After riding through rain or on muddy roads, the
element should be cleaned immediately.
