There must be an easier way to replace the air filter. I did a search but didn't see any help.

I certainly hope there is a MUCH easier way for this maintenance item...

I know what you folks are talking about " 2012 air filter " ---- take the right side panels off , take an inner cover off I forget what it looked like , think it had 2 or 3 more screws . but you can see the filter housing right there , now the fun part , unclip the housing top clips , I was not able to really raise the whole top off I had to tilt the top back , slide my fingers in side the canister area , and twist and slide the filter out , it took some doing I can tell ya , and on top of all this the filter looked like new ! slide it back in reverse style , --- after all of this , go to the medicine cabinet , get the bandaids and cover the new cat like claw marks from the tight fitting air filter ! what a nice way to say " you lover your cycle " scratched up hands , air filter placement , and couple cold beers ! :yikes:
Installed a K&N air filter - at 18k. Old one came out clean.
I have a 2012 RT SE5 - It was easy to replace, once I removed the tupperware. I did get confused since everything I read on line indicated that the filter was sitting on top of the engine, not really where it is - behind the coolant tank.
