Yesterday, a friend brought his 93 K11LT by to have me help him with some maintenance. Since the bike has a little over 50K miles, I figured it would be a good time to swap in a new air filter.
Of all of the classic Ks, the K11LT has to be the most difficult to replace the air filter since the top of the air box barely budges.
Once we wrassled the old one out, I found that spraying some silicone lubricant into the channels around the rim of the air filter made it a lot easier to slide the new one in. (Any lubricant, even WD-40, would probably work.)
