No it doesn't, it says do it at 8000 miles.
You must have a different service manual than I have. I have the honda service manual and am looking at the maintenance
schedule right now.
It shows the following at
4000 miles:
-Clean crankcase breather
-Inspect spark plug
-Inspect engine idle speed
-Clean belt case air cleaner
-Inspect brake fluid
-Inspect brake pads wear
-Inspect brake lock operation
-Inspect clutch shoes wear
It shows the following at
8000 miles:
-Inspect fuel line
-Inspect throttle operation
-Clean crankcase breather
-Replace spark plug
-Replace engine oil filter
-Inspect engine idle speed
-Inspect radiator coolant
-Inspect cooling system
-Inspect secondary air supply system
-Inspect drive belt
-Clean belt case air cleaner
-Inspect brake fluid
-Inspect brake pads wear
-Inspect brake system
-Inspect brake lock operation
-Inspect headlight aim
-Inspect clutch shoes wear
-Inspect sidestand
-Inspect suspension
-Inspect nuts, bolts, fasteners
-Inspect wheels/tires
-Inspect head bearings
So according to the service manual, the belt case air cleaner element should be cleaned at both 4000 and 8000 miles.
I just cleaned mine, their isn't much to the element, and it wasn't very dirty at all so could have probably waited until
8000 miles, but I prefer to go by the maintenance schedule.
I just looked in the owners manual, and it also says to clean the belt case air cleaner at 4000 miles.
This is what the USA owners manual and service manual both say anyway, maybe the maintenance schedule is different
for other countries.
