First remove the seat by inserting the key,
turning and then lifting the seat and sliding back….LOL:
|
 |
|
Then remove the two 10MM bolts that hold the tank
down: |
 |
|
After removing those bolts I used a box to prop
up the tank so I could get my hands under there to disconnect the rest
of the connections: |
 |
|
A view of the fuel pump from under the backside
of the tank: |
 |
|
Now locate the fuel pump lead and disconnect it.
It’s on the left side of the bike: |
 |
|
Like so and then route the end of the connector
under the wire harness: |
 |
|
Now on the right side of the bike is the fuel
hose quick connect. Take your flat head screwdriver and slide the red
piece out until it has stops: |
 |
|
Like so: |
 |
|
Now pull the fuel line connection off the
nipple. You may need to give it a good tug, but make sure your free
hand is stabilizing the tank: |
 |
|
Now remove the fuel overflow line, I just used
needle nose pliers to pinch the end of the clamp and slid the line
off: |
 |
|
Here’s what the clamp looks like, it is rather
small: |
 |
|
Now you’re ready to pull the tank. I grabbed the
front and rear of the tank and simply pulled up to remove and then
move it out of the way: |
 |
|
As you can see I set it on some pieces of scrap
wood. I didn’t want to set it on the fuel pump for fear of damage: |
 |
|
Ok, here what we look like with the tank removed: |
 |
|
Now it’s time to remove the airbox. Remove these
4 philips head screws on the cover: |
 |
|
And pop up the cover: |
 |
|
Lift up the cover and
swing it out of the way |
 |
|
Now for the filter, simple stuff, remove the 1
philips head screw, slide out the air filter cassette and insert
your new air filter, in my case DNA performance air filter. Follow
the manufacturer directions if any oil or grease needs to be applied
to your filter:
|
 |
|
I put the DNA sticker on the airbox so someone
would know it is there and to not throw it out should I sell the
bike, send it in for warranty work or whatever:
|
 |
|
Here it is all back together, and ready for the
fuel tank to go back on. For the fuel tank reassemble in reverse:
