Print PageAir Filter
The unique snorkel air intake has been designed to minimize the
impact of dust. mud. and water. yet increases its ability to
receive an abundant amount of clean. cool air. Responsiveness
of the Rotax motor has been increased due to the high vol1111e still
air chamber. Due to the
Kll~'s
extreme amount of air flow capab111tes,
(3 times more surface area) combined with its location on the motorcycle,
cleaning the filter is not required as often.
Read Below Instructions Carefully!!
