Tools you will need and probably haven't got: a pair of longnose pliers (3-inch jaws) for replacing the rear left airbox clip and a Phillips head screwdriver with an 8-inch shank for removing the fuel pressure regulator
- Loosen the worm drive holding the airbox to the plenum chamber (forward, left - look down through the frame and you'll see it)
- Ping the three securing clips off the airbox with a screwdriver - two are easily visible on the right but the third one is at the back of the airbox to the inside of the throttle position sensor
- The top half of the airbox and the filter should now come out
- It's a 6mm allen drive for the bottom of the airbox
-
Do not lose or forget to reinstall the two big washers underneath the airbox (so saith BMW
)
You might be able to get the fuel pipes off at this point, but if they won't play ball:
- The fuel pressure regulator is not designed to come off the throttle body frame with the throttle bodies still on the bike, but it can be done
- Remove the front screw with the long screwdriver
- Rotate the FPR backwards and upwards to get the fuel pipes out of the way
- Note that the long screwdriver will still not fit squarely in the rear screw but with a bit of sideways pressure to keep it located the screw will come out.
Reverse for reassembly. Be prepared to swear a lot when trying to relocate the rear-left airbox clip.
