EBU34110Cleaning the air filter elementThe air filter element should be serviced at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Clean or, if necessary, replace
the air filter element more frequently if you are rid-
ing in unusually wet or dusty areas.TIPThere is a check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case. If dust or water collects in this hose, empty
the hose and clean the air filter element and air fil-
ter case.

7. Apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other qual- ity foam air filter oil to the element.
TIPThe air filter element should be wet but not drip-

9. Install the air filter case cover by hooking the holders onto the air filter case. NOTICE:
Make sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter case. Never
operate the engine with the air filter ele- ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air
to enter the engine, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addi-
tionally, operation without the air filter ele-
ment will affect carburetor jetting with
subsequent poor performance and possi-
ble engine overheating.
