I have a 82 GS650G and I have the side covers, here is my question though.

I have it at a mechanic's and he asked me about the right side air filter box cover?? I thought that little black plastic box was a glove box?

Which is it and if I don't have the cover for that box, anyone have an idea on how to get one?

Thanks guys.
 
Okay...okay...I checked the manual and confirmed for myself that it is an air filter cover. Can you say N-O-O-B? :D

Anyways, need to know if the cover is an easy part to come by? Anyone?
 
i am looking to found a right need a left.they can get pricy.Take a look at my post and see what i got for 55.00
 
Well, first take the gloves out... :D

Is the air filter still in there?

Check the online microfiche at http://flatoutmotorcycles.com and see if the part is still available. If not, post in the parts wanted section of this site.

In the meantime, cover the hole with just about anything -- your bike will run a lot better if air only gets into the airbox where it's supposed to.

Search the tech forum for "sealing airbox" for more info.

Didn't see it online, thanks for tip though. In my manual, it looks like the OEM cover is somewhat "perforated" if thats what you want to call it. If covering it with some sort of material, should it have 'slots' in it or something? And no, there is no airfilter in it currently - will be in a few days though.

Can anyone help me with the above question? If you're covering it with something, it shouldn't be completely sealed right? Should it have breather holes?
 
No, no breather holes. The airbox that the cover fits on has the intake holes in it. The left and right side airbox covers have gaskets that seal to the airbox, very important for proper fuel/air mixture.
