The air filter is inside of the airbox, which is located near the battery.

The airbox can be opened by loosening four screws as seen in the pictures.

You do not need to remove the screws completely; they will stay in the cover.

Find an electrical connector on the engine side of the airbox.

Disconnect the connector.

Move the cover out of the way to reveal the filter.

The filter will easily be removed from the airbox.

At this time, you can determine whether to replace the air filter or just clean it.

To clean, use an air compressor to blow air on the filter to clean it.

Place the new/cleaned filter into the airbox and replace the cover.

Tighten the four screws.

Reconnect the electrical connector.
