BASIC MAINTENANCE
Before servicing or making adjustments to machine, stop engine and
remove key from ignition.
Use all procedures and parts prescribed by the manufactures. Read the
engine manual.
AIR CLEANER ON ENGINE
1. Remove the thumbscrews on top of the cover and remove the cover.
2. Carefully remove paper element to prevent debris from entering carburetor. To
service, clean by tapping gently on flat surface. Do not oil paper element. Replace if
very dirty or damaged.
Do not use petroleum solvents, e.g.., kerosene, which will cause cartridge to
deteriorate. Do not use pressurized air to clean cartridge. Pressurized air can
damage cartridge.
3. Reinstall paper element.
4. Replace cover and reattach thumb screw.
TIRE PRESSURE
Caution must be used when inflating a low tire to recommended pressure. Over inflating can
cause tires to explode. Tires should be 5 psi. Improper inflation will reduce tire life considerably.
ENGINE
Check oil and fuel levels before starting engine. Refer to V Star Service Manual and engine
manual for complete service information.
BATTERY
Batteries normally produce explosive gases which can cause personal injury. Do not allow
flames, sparks or any ignited object to come near the battery. When charging or working near
battery, always shield your eyes and always provide proper ventilation.
