#492940 massagemick@yahoo.com (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 93 air filter housing 1 Year, 1 Month ago   Ok, I'm sure I'll the prize for the stupid question of the week....but how does the air filter housing come off? I've searched the forum, and I looked in the service manual.....it seems as if all I need to do is remove the center bolt and the big egg shaped metal piece will come off revealing the air filter. But it doesn't come off. The bottom is loose, I can stick my fingers into the bottom and feel something rattling around in there, and now the long bolt won't screw in to anything. If I take off the 2 bolts at the top and the one at the bottom, it still does not come off. I can't see how to access the clamp that must hold it to the carb. I'm feeling pretty stupid....as I just finished servicing the steering head bearings...but I can't figure this out. thanks in advance....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #492941 Rev.

Should be two hoses attached to the back of the filter housing. Disconnect them. I leave the short hose attached to the back of the filter housing and remove it from the carb, and the long one pulls off of the filter housing and hangs. When the filter is off the bike, then you can remove the 5mm allen head in the center of the chrome cover, and there are two phillips head screws from the back side(facing the carb), that release the front chrome cover.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #492974 blue_star (User) Better to burn out than fade away!

How would you go about repairing that? I'm thinking of trying JBWeld or epoxy to re-secure the nut that is trapped in the plastic back to where it's supposed to be. Another repair for it would be to put on a different sort of air cleaner, right? can you make suggestions? thanks   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #493903 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

BAK might require rejetting, though.
