Hint: The tow front screws don't really have to come out :banghead: , just loosen them and loosen and remove the other 6, then slowly pry up the top of the air box. The very two front screws are in a 'well' so they can be left in and as long as you don't pop up the top half of the airbox or move it around too much they should just stay there until it's time to re-install it.

Also, I had tons of bugs inside the air filter :eat2: and when I removed it they went everywhere, I took the vacum and just sucked them all out, then the new filter went back in. :clap2:

Started it up and you can immediately tell the difference in the throttle response... yeeeehaaaa. :22yikes: .. now, if I could just find the time to ride. :mcrider:

When I last changed my air filter, besides the bugs and some small pebbles, I also found a small amount of oil on the bottom of the filter housing. I have always felt that the oil was some blowby from the crankcase ventilation hose.
