    How do you remove the airbox lid without removing the fuel tank?

    Hey Clete, you need to remove the bolts holding the rear stays/frame section (not exactly sure what that section is called) and undo the screws/bolts holding the tank. You can then get enough movement up and rearward with the tank to twist the airbox out. It is a bit tight and tricky, just be careful not to snap the airbox breather hose off the bottom of the airbox when lifting out.
    Hope this helps without pics.

    Cool, thank you! A while back I was changing the oil, and while re-filling, part way into the second quart it overfilled.:( Oil everywhere. THe next day I called Bill's and was taught, in order to get the second quart in the motor over a few times, and then the 2nd quart will go in. So, been working on the bike and discovered the clear tube from the bottom of the air box is filled with oil. Nice!

    Have you done the PodMod? If i have the lid off, might as well cut the lid too. Just wondering where to cut it.

    I haven't done the pod mod as yet even though I have all the bits sitting there, I have a sheet of uni-filter foam taped over the intake and have split the airbox and sealed it up properley. I find running the oiled pre filter it doesn't seem to run as lean doesn't have that jerkiness down low and my airbox is spotless, not sure whether it actually richens things up- can't see how it can really but I have it running well I dont wanna change things.

    I tried pulling the lid, need like three or four hands, didn't want to get to forceful with it.
