TIP
 Air filter
• This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com- 7
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 V-belt case air filter
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 V-belt
• The V-belt should be checked at the initial 8000 km (5000 mi) and every 4000 km (2500 mi) thereafter. Replace the
V-belt if any damage or excessive wear is found. The V-belt needs to be replaced every 20000 km (12500 mi) even
if there is no wear or damage.
 Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level. After dissembling the brake master cylinders and cal-
ipers, always change the brake fluid.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
