Air filter

This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be
cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging it.

The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service

After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly
check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.

Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.

Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained proper-
ly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
motorcycle is used in dusty areas.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings between each side plate. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washing, certain sol-
vents, and the use of a coarse brush can dam-
age these O-rings. Therefore, use only kero-
sene to clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive
chain dry and thoroughly lubricate it with engine
oil or chain lubricant that is suitable for O-ring
chains. Do not use any other lubricants on the
drive chain since they may contain solvents that
could damage the O-rings.
Recommended lubricant
Engine oil or chain lubricant
suitable for O-ring chains
