2-16 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Air Cleaner Element Cleaning and Inspection
NOTE
In dusty areas, the element should be cleaned more
frequently than the recommended interval.
After riding through rain or muddy terrains, the element
should be cleaned immediately.
Also, if there is a break in the element material or any
other damage to the element, replace the element with
a new one.
WARNING
Clean the element in a well-ventilated area, and
take care that there are no sparks or flame any-
where near the working area; this includes any
appliance with a pilot light. B ecause of the danger
of highly flammable liquids, do not use gasoline or
a low-flash point solvent to clean the foam element.
Remove the air cleaner element (see Air Cleaner Element
Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
Clean the element [A] i n a bath of high-flash point solvent.
Squeeze it dry in a clean towel [A]. Do not wring the ele-
ment or blow it dry; the element can be damaged.
Inspect the element for damage.
If it is torn, punctured, or hardened, replace it.
After cleaning, saturate the element with a high-quality
foam-air-filter oil, squeeze out the excess oil, then wrap
it in a clean rag and squeeze it as dry as possible. Be
careful not to tear the element.
Air Cleaner Draining
If any water or oil accumulates in the tube, drain it by
taking off the tube plug [A]. After draining, be sure to install
the tube plug and clamp firmly.
