Caution! A clogged air filter will reduce air intake and engine power, increase fuel consumption and cause a build up of deposits on the spark plugs. Do not run the engine without the air filter. This will draw foreign material present in the air into the engine and may damage the engine.
Install the cartridge in the airbox cover and replace all the removed parts; tighten the screws (1) and (4) to the specified torque (Engine torque settings).
Caution! If the motorcycle is used in very damp or dusty conditions, the air filter cartridge must be changed more frequently.
