NOTICE

Install air filter before running engine. Failure to do so can draw debris into the engine and could result in engine damage. (00207a)

See Figure 1. Clean the air intake screen as needed.

NOTE

Do not cover or restrict the air intake screen. Certain tank bags or accessories may cover or restrict the air intake screen. This may reduce power and performance.

See Figure 2. Remove air box cover and air filter cover and inspect filter element at proper mileage intervals. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication → Air Filter: XB Models → Air Filter: XB Models. Inspect more often under dusty conditions. See a Buell dealer or Service Manual for more information.
