kjclark7 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 i am about to change the air filter and read that you need to fully take the tank off to get at changing the filter. is there a way to change the air filter without taking the tank off fully? can it be done just by raising up the tank? i dont want to take off all the lines which means i'll have gas spillage. thanks guys for any info. kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remove those two bolts on the rear of the tank, lift the rear a few inches and wiggle it back out of the front mount, set the rear down and lift the front and go to town.
