 Air filter 9
• This model’s air intake system is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element. The air filter element cannot
be cleaned with compressed air, it must be replaced. 10
• 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 cylinder and caliper, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid 11
level and fill the reservoir as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake fluid. 12
• Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.
