1983 GS750E - how to get the airbox out?

[Andrew Vanis]

Want to move the airbox from the parts bike into the good one (the good one has pods). Is is possible to do that without removing the engine? It doesn't seem so unless I'm missing something. I do hope so otherwise I'm keeping the pods on the runner.

It is possible, but just barely. You will need to unbolt the front and lower motor mounts, and loosen the rear one. This will let the front of the motor tip down a little. You'll also need to remove the carbs, carb boots, and oil lines. I left the cam chain tensioner on, but it would have been better with it off since I nearly broke the airbox in the process. Mine came with pods, and I had a hard time finding an airbox. They are somewhat rare.

Edit: Don't forget the bolt underneath the airbox

Yeah they are often cut out by people adding pods for just this reason..
