2011 Best way to pull them ? Looks like taking the airbox out and pulling them from the rear is the only way ? I usually can pull them from the side but doesn't look like that's doable on this. Never pulled a set on one of these before. Any tricks to know about ?
Take out battery and battery box Remove screws holding airbox - I think there are one or two sorta hidden behind where the pax footpeg brackets would attach to the frame. There is one on lower left side above the front sprocket and another on top rt side of airbox. Remove left side fairing mount Undo carb boot clamps at engine. Pull carbs off of engine - the airbox should move backwards pretty easily Now pull carbs from airbox Its not too bad.
I was wrenching on mine yesterday. The screws by the pax footpeg brackets dont actually attach to the airbox - they hold the rear mudflap fender in place - but they stick out enough that they get in the way when you pull the airbox backwards. You'll see what im talkin about.
