Title: Airbox help
Post by vroom1776 on 08/05/05 at 08:07:07

Hey folks,

How the heck do you remove the airbox?

I got the battery case out, disconnected all hoses, airbox doors off, the two screws on either side near the top, got all the electrical out of the way, and removed the ignitor. Then I tried to remove it. No luck. Stuffed a big 1.25" wrench inbetween the frame and the airbox and tried to push the airbox forward. All I did was bend my wrench. >:(

Is there another bolt hiding beneath the belt guard? Is it bolted to the frame? The microfiches at bikerbandit, for example, don't show any, but... ???

ALSO, bolting a KN filter right to the carb. Is it okay to just get anotehr small filter for this, or is it better to run it back into the top of my KN? I guess that doesn't matter.

many thanks, :)

k

yeah theres one more bolt behind the belt guard, but its still a b#@ch to get out, even with all the bolts removed!

Whoa dont grind it !!

Just take off ALL but one of the forward belt guard bolts

that way u can tip the belt guard forward and up to get access to the bolt.

It took me a while too. ppl forget to write up that bolt
including the cylmer manual.

Personally, if I ever put a pod filter on mine and negate the need for the airbox, I'll probably use it for tool storage.

thats a good idea actually. I was thinking of reinstallin my right side cover but Im not sure. I know my bike looks hideous without the chrome battery cover (key).
maybe u could tuck a car stereo there and use a remote ;D
