5.3 - Changing & Cleaning Air Filter K5

Proper air filter maintenance is extremely important for off-road vehicles. A dirty, water-soaked, worn-out air filter will allow dirt, dust, mud or other impurities to pass into the engine. If you are riding in wet and/or muddy areas, you should service the air filter more often. Always replace the air filter with a genuine AJ1 filter specifically designed for your model or a filter of equal quality.

Failure to maintain the filter can/may cause engine wear or damage, expensive repairs, low engine power, low fuel mileage, carbon build up on valves and foul the spark plug.
