Do i need to have my fareings off to clean my BMC airfilter?

 

How did you install it? Most are under the gas tank and would not require removing fairings.

 

well if you give it a good blow, it could clean alot of things out....

 

I know when i get a good blow it cleans some things out LOL
(not meant to offend anyone sorry if it does but i couldnt resist)

 

Dam beat me to it.

 

i got to tell my wife that

 

No you don't have to remove your fairing. I find it a lot easier to remove the whole airbox and then remove the air filter. Remove the passenger/ rider seat and unbolt the front of the tank. Use a piece of wood or ? to hold up the tank and remove the forward bolt, loosen the clamps on the velocity stacks, disconnect 3 vacuum/ vent hoses, and unplug the IAT sensor. Lift the rear of the airbox, slide it back, rotate it to the right and remove the airbox assembly. It's much easier to work on.

 

this is how my bike spent the winter when I got back from Iraq. I didn't have to remove any of the main fairings for the air filter removal.

 

where did you get that rug your bikes sitting on ?

 

I got them from Fly n cycle when I got the stands.
