Air box removal

One problem after another. The bike keeps fighting me me all the way. I noticed that the screw on the throttle body for the TPS has come loose so carefully screwed it back in but hay ho the thread has stripped so now have to rethread the plastic which has now been done. Doing this i had to remove the switch unit and have no lost the correct position so now have to get it to someone who can reset it. Looking at removing the air filter the air box is really dirty and looking down the throttle body that too is dirty with what looks like sooty deposits on the butterfly so have to clean that as well.  How is the airbox removed as everything is so compact. Thank.

I pulled one recently. If I recall…

First I removed the radiator. It is really easy to remove and gives a lot more room. I unlcip the top hose (put a small tool under one of the small holes and they pop right apart)  with both hoses unclipped, move it back a little to disengage from airbox, then sift up.  You can pry, but be very caerful.  Undo power to fan before complete removea.

Remove throttle body, move airbox up a bit- then very carefully remove sensor-  I suggest warming the hose and grommet and do NOT force it. They break very easily. Once those are out, it will pull down and out easily.
