Air Filter
Th
e engine air fi lter is located on the left side of

(See fi gure

. Th
e engine air fi lter should be inspected every 2500
miles (4000 km) and more often when riding in dusty
conditions.
Cleaning Procedure:
1. Spray K&N Air Filter Cleaner onto both sides of
the air fi lter until it completely saturates the pleated
material.
A. Apply K&N Air Filter Cleaner to clean side of
fi lter
B. Apply K&N Air Filter Cleaner to dirty side of
fi lter
Allow cleaner to soak into both sides of air fi lter for
10 minutes to loosen the dirt. Do not let cleaner dry
on air fi lter.
2. Rinse:
Rinse
off air fi lter with cool low-pressure water. Allow
gravity to fl ush dirt out of air fi lter by applying water
to the clean side of the fi lter; up and down the length
of the pleats.
Continue to rinse the fi lter until all traces of cleaner
are gone. If the fi lter is extremely dirty it may be
necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2. If there are spots of
dirt remaining on the fi lter, spray each spot directly
with cleaner, allow a few minutes for it to soak and
repeat rinsing step.
3. DRY
After rinsing, gently shake off excess water and allow
fi lter to dry naturally. Do not proceed to the oiling
step until the fi lter is completely dry.
