Setup:
- Ensure your motorcycle is turned off and in a safe working position.
- Carefully remove the stock air filter from the airbox.
- Clean the inside of the airbox to remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Lightly oil the new Apico air filter according to standard air filter oiling procedures (unless it is pre-oiled).
- Install the Apico Air Filter, ensuring a proper seal around the edges.
- Reinstall the airbox cover and secure it.
Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the air filter after each ride or more frequently in dusty conditions. Use a dedicated foam filter cleaner and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely.
- Oiling: After cleaning and drying, re-oil the filter with a quality filter oil. Apply evenly and work the oil through the foam. Remove any excess oil; too much oil can restrict airflow.
- Inspection: Inspect the filter for any tears or damage before each installation. Replace if any damage is found.
