    This 1st series of videos will show you how to remove the left and right side panels, top cover, locate the battery and remove the rear tire splash guard.



    This 2nd series will show your air filter location and remove the airbox. Follow instructions above for panel removal.

    This 5th series of videos will show you how to install a piece of foam in your airbox line to prevent oil from getting into the airbox. Follow instructions for left side panel removal and just watch the 1st airbox video in series 2.

    The foam is from a dirtbike air filter so you will have to get one of those to do this install.
