Airbox help
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. Angry

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,

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.
