1. Air filter

A modified bisectional air filter will be installed as
standard equipment. The bottom half of the filter is
screwed to the carburetor; the top snaps on to the
bottom half.
Benefits of the new filter:
• Larger filter surface area;
   this means less maintenance

• Snap lock easily released when
   top half has to be removed for cleaning.

The air filter 1123 120 1620 previously supplied

as a spare will remain available in addition to the
new version 1123 120 1650. The original flocked

filter 1123 120 1605 has been replaced by the            Left: Original air filter
new version 1123 120 1651.                               Right: New air filter

1.2 Notes on installation

Different procedures are necessary depending
on the type of filter fitted in the machine.

1.2.1 Machines with foam filter element

• Unscrew the nuts.

• Remove the filter housing (1).
• Fit the modified air filter (2).

  (1.5 lbf.ft).

1.2.2 Machines with box filter

• Remove the box filter.
• Unscrew the nuts from the studs.
• Fit the modified air filter.
• Screw on the nuts and torque down to 2 Nm
  (1.5 lbf.ft).
• Refer to 1.2.3 "Carburetor box cover".

1.2.3 Carburetor box cover

The modified air filter can only be installed
together with a carburetor box cover without
ribs. Carburetor box covers with ribs were installed

up to mid-1992. They are found on machines with
both foam and box filters.
There are three possible methods of repairing
these machines:                                                  fo

                                                        Ribs in carburetor box cover

a) Install air filter 1123 120 1620 (still available

   as spare) with the existing carburetor box cover
   (with ribs).
b) Install a carburetor box cover without ribs along

   with the modified air filter.
c) Use side cutters, pliers or other suitable tool to
   remove ribs from the existing carburetor box
   cover and carefully deburr the cover. Deburring

   is very important to ensure that the filter fabric
   cannot be damaged when the carburetor box
   cover is fitted.

   The clearance between the top edge of the air
   filter and the carburetor box cover is only a few
   millimeters.                                         Installed position of air filter
