Title: Ultimate catch can!
Post by Yoshi on 06/04/14 at 19:37:00

Got my K&N RC-1250 today and ripped out the airbox (what a pain)

I had a breather filter that I purchased online earlier when messing with intake ideas

I had this little plastic piece that will catch all the oil (with me emptying it once in a while)

Check it out!

In the near future I'm getting a little battery and gonna relocate and shave/hide stuff, for now this will do.

Nice! I'd like to ditch my airbox too, so... what's involved and how much of a pain is it? I already have a KN filter, but it sits on top of the battery box scrunched against the airbox.

You do need to oil them... or they ain't filterin'...

you need to pull your battery out and then remove 3 bolts and wiggle wigle wiggle, cuss cuss cuss :-D

Those filters are oiled, the K&N comes preoiled and the other filter is a different brand (thats why it looks brighter then the K&N)

Im gonna take the breather filter and run it underneath the seat to hide it
(Thought about it last night while laying in bed)

Thanks guys)

They're all oiled sooner or later.

K&N sells a filter cleaner & an oil spray..
They come with cleaning instructions, dry time, etc..

My K&N filter is here. I removed the battery and box. I've got 2 bolts off the air cleaner assembly. I'm wiggling, holding my just tongue right, but can't get it out.

Where is that third bolt? I found the two easy ones, #17 and #18. Is there one on the bottom somewhere, perhaps behind the belt guard, that the parts diagram doesn't show?

Somebody help me before I have to start ~~cursing~~ quoting Shakespeare...

Using the correct theological method, I did discover the trinity. That third bolt on the left side, with the belt guard in the way. I got whole air cleaner removed, after also removing the carb, and my K&N filter is installed finally.

Yay!

YAY indeed! Nothing is as easy as it looks in the diagrams. ::)
I got my airbox and battery box out but I just got a new big battery, so I'm going to wait until it dies until I get a smaller one and do a "real" battery mod. For now it is just wedged into the air box space with a bracket to keep it from shifting.
