EAU38440

TIP

● Air filter

• This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com-

pressed 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 and clutch systems

• After disassembling the brake or clutch master cylinders, caliper cylinders or clutch release cylinder, always change

the fluid. Regularly check the brake and clutch fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.

• Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the brake or clutch master cylinders, caliper cylinders and clutch release

cylinder every two years.

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