Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Air Filter Inspection and Cleaning
•
Remove:
Air Filter (see Fuel System (DFI) chapter)
Flame Arrester [A] (see Air Filter Disassembly in Fuel
System (DFI) chapter)
•
Clean the flame arrester [A].
•
Visually inspect the flame arrester for damage.
If necessary, replace it with a new one.
Fuel Vent Check Valve Inspection
The fuel vent check valve is mounted in the fuel tank vent
hose to prevent fuel from spilling during riding. Air can flow
into the tank to allow fuel to be drawn out by the fuel pump,
but fuel cannot flow out the check valve.
•
Remove the front storage pocket (see Hull/Engine Hood
chapter).
•
Cut off the bands [A].
•
Pull out each end of the fuel vent check valve [B] from the
vent hoses [C].
•
Blow through the fuel vent check valve from each end.
If the check valve will allow air to flow as shown, it is OK.
If air will flow through the check valve in both direction or
in neither direction, the check valve must be replaced.
