 |

So even with the tank off, I couldn't see how to get the air filter box apart enough to change the air filter. I even swore at it as only a good aussie boy can do....I called it a kiwi....
SO what's the trick to swapping that f^&ker out????

drikko - I can't honestly say if it's the same on the RS. On the LT, after you undo the hooks that hold the top on, you can raise the top just enough to slide the filter out. If you drop one of those hooks, they're a pain to get back on.

My manual says to detach the right side section of the fairing. Is this necessary?

To replace air filter on a K1100:
1. remove right side crash bar (K1100LT) and fairing.
2. remove air intake horn.
3. unclip air filter housing (2 at rear, 1 at front) A couple of curse words are sometimes helpful.
4. raise housing as high as possible (maybe as much as 1/4")
5. remove old air filter. Many curse words are sometimes helpful.
6. reinstall new (or old, cleaned) air filter. MAKE SURE you install it the correct way - the left side bottom does not have a ridge so you can slide it all the way onto the housing.
7. Fit the top housing onto the filter. Reinstall clips. Many curse words are usually uttered here.
8. Reinstall intake air horn, right side fairing and crash bar.
9. Ride.
NOTE: Notice, I never said anything about removing or even raising the fuel tank.

I have never done this. All I do is the side panel and knee pad. May be easier Phil's way though.

Why didn't they make this a side entry deal?

Phils way is correct, and I find a steel ruler helps the whole thing.

I had trouble lifting the lid high enough on my RS without removing the insulation between the frame and the lid. Yes, curse words magically start flowing when the clip seperates from the air box and of course it will be the one you can see the mount to put it back.

If you look closely at the filter then you'll see it doesn't have a ridge on the inside top. Put that side in first.

Well, just managed to get this done. What a cluster f^ck of a thing that is. I have new neighbours as of a week ago, I suspect they were close to calling the police, their outside lights came on and I could see them looking for what I was swearing at, every word got used to get that f%cker in, f, c, fing c, fing a'hole c, every other combination imaginable, I even resorted to using my recently dear departed grandmothers favourite and only swear word "plurry". I think she heard me....... Lucky my kids were at the ex's house tonight!
I think I'll sell it before that needs doing again!!!!!!!!!
