Air Cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Unclamp the side clamps, and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty, replace it with a new one.

The air cleaner element should be
replaced every 50000 km (30000
miles). More frequent replacement is
necessary when you drive under
