07 Airbox problem

I went to clean the air filter and noticed that the wire loom is splitting the airbox apart due to it resting on the outer box cover. Has anyone else seen this and what would you recommend to fix this other than buying a new one.

Wow! When was the last time you took your air box off and cleaned it?

Thanks for reminding me of that!

Oh well...Halls had all my parts in stock. Talk about a poopy day....start with this and then get a call on my day off to tell me I don't work there anymore.

Wouldn't you know that as soon as I got off the phone ordering parts...my manager calls.

Does anyone know if there needs (should) be some sealant between the rubber boot and the aribox? It looks like HSQ only used black rtv between the rubber boot and the airfilter mounting plate. It seems like the would make sense because that would be the main area of concern.

Dang! Sorry to hear of your really crummy day. I hope it picks back up for you real quick.

I have an '08 and haven't seen an '07 hands on, but mine has no rvt in the air box area.

You could to make it more water and dust tight by doing that, but this connection doesn't have air flow. Make sure you redo rtv between the mounting plate and rubber intake boot.

I"ve had to rebuild my airbox on my 07 at least three times. Husky rubber parts suck.

Thanks for the input. I hate to admit that this was the first time tearing the airbox apart. I will need to start scheduling this as part of my annual look over.

I am proud to say that I still blown away with the quality of my Husqvarna. I finally have her paid off. My wife was asking what bike I am going to get next....I am tempted by the wr300 but I still like to terrorize the street.
