WARNING
A clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust
to enter the throttle body assembly and the
throttle may stick resulting in a hazardous
operating condition. Clean the air cleaner ac-
cording to the periodic maintenance chart;
more often if the motorcycle is used in ex-
tremely dusty conditions.
NOTICE
A clogged air cleaner may allow dirt and dust
to enter the engine, causing it to wear exces-
sively or to become damaged.
