    How the heck do I remove this

    Im no dummy by any stretch but I can't see how the heck I can remove this airbox without major dismantling or breaking something.
    I have removed the 2 cross head bolts at the top that go back to the subframe cross member and loosened all the jubilee clips to the carbs. I still can't get it out.
    Any hints?

    Looks to be a 750 or 850?????


    Anyways, remove the two top 10MM bolts

    Loosen and slide the airbox boot clamps back against the airbox.

    Loosen the intake carb holder clamps.

    Push the airbox as far to thr rear of the bike as it goes and get the airbox boots off the carbs

    Grasp the carbs and twist them either up or down and dislodge them from the carb holders and get the throttle cables off. Now you can remove the airbox rather easily.

    Wiggle the carbs out the RIGHT SIDE of the bike and use a long flat screw driver to help skip the boots past the carbs throats.

    Bowls will probably snag a bit on the cam chain tensioner, but you wiggle it around and get them past it. wont be an "easy" job so don't get frustrated at it.

          Crappy picture to even get a idea from really...other than the chain..which I didn't see.

          depending on year and air box style, its a crap shoot as to how to answer. my response was with the assumption the air box has the part that forms back past the frame supports.

          My 77 750 has a flat back and all I do is remove the 2 bolts and clamps and it slides right out without removing the carbs.

            Hi,

            What bike is that? It doesn't look like an 850. But, yes, you must remove the carbs first after loosening the airbox and sliding it back as far as it will go. You can loosen or remove the rear fender to give you a little more room to move the airbox back. Once the carbs are out you should be able to get the airbox free.


            Thank you for your indulgence,

            BassCliff

              If that is an 83-86 GS750 you either have to remove the engine or destroy the airbox to get it out. Same on the 85 GS700. Ray.

                Yes on the OP needing to add as much bike info to both the inquiry and to his signature for future references.

                      No, it's not neccesary to destroy anything. That's not even one of the harder ones. Carbs come out to the right first, a tight fit but doable, then the airbox is easy.

                        You have to remove the carbs if you want to remove the airbox. Just loosen up the airbox mounting points and the hose clips and pull the box back. Then loosen the carb to head hose clips and pull the carbs back till they clear the hoses at the front and the rear. Then pull the carbs out of the bike from the RH side.
