The screen is internal. You can't get to it without tearing engine down. Just keep your oil changed and don't worry about it.

These engines (Recon, 250EX, and 90) have a centrifugal oil cleaner and a screen, that need to be serviced by the dealer about every 100 hours. Sounds weird, but it is a system that works quite well!

My buddy's Recon probably has 300 hours on his with regular oil changes, and the engine has never been cracked open.

The owner's manual sure DOES mention it! Look at the service schedule page. Interval is every 200 hours.

I looked at the service manual, and it isn't all that involved. Just pull off the front engine cover and the centrifuge is right there underneath. Remove 3 bolts, take off the cover and clean it, clean the inside, replace the o-ring, and reseal the cover and put it all back together.
