AIR FILTER CLEANING

The most critical aspect of routine maintenance

on a racing machine is proper air filter mainte­

nance. The air filter on a motocross must be

serviced after every practice session and moto

to ensure maximum engine performance and

life. For convenience, many racers prepare two

or three spare air filters ahead of time and simp­

ly switch filters between practices and motos.

Follow these instructions to service foam air

filters correctly:

1. Remove the cleaner case cap.

2. Pull out the element and guide from the

cleaner case cap.

3.

Using uncontaminated cleaning solvent,

thoroughly wash the filter element; wash

it gently to avoid damage.

4.

Squeeze the solvent from the filter ele­

ment.

CAUTION:

Do not twist or wring the filter element,

as it can easily be torn or otherwise dam­
aged.

5.

Using liquid dishwashing detergent and

water, again wash the air filter element.

Rinse the element with water, squeeze it,

and allow the element to dry completely.

6

Pour a liberal amount of high-quality,

foam-air-filter oil into a plastic bag. Put

the filter element in the bag and thorough­

ly work the oil into the element.
