Air filter access
This should be sooooo easy I know. So the tank on my '96 1000F is propped on it's tail. I can see the box behind the carbs but can not see any way to get into it. It looks like it's a one piece unit from the intake boots back and downwards..........
Tried searching posts, got nothing.
Thanks.

Hey thanks! Looks like I've got a K&N in there, still looks clean. Now with Vance and Hines 4-1 and a K&N filter, what are the chances that it's jetted too??? Just bought this bike with 14,600 miles. It runs fine without any hesitation throughout the powerband.

Something to keep an eye on. The VH pipe uses thin wall steel (had one on mine when I bought it). I took it off one winter to clean the rust off and recoat it. During the cleaning with a wire wheel on a screwdriver, the pipe developed a hole where the 4 pipes come into 1. Everytime I cleaned a little further back to get to clean metal, the hole just kept getting bigger. Eventually, I just grabbed the headers and split them in half and found a stick setup on ebay.
In other words: keep an eye on the pipes.

It costs bugga all to clean & re-oil so I'd just do it IMHO.

RE: Air filter access
also... grease the two end edges of the filter,a light coat, to "set" the seal. becarefull to insert the filter "level",to give it every chance to do it's job. i sill laugh... I bought my 94 f, and the guy said "I just serviced it", so I justchecked the oil and rode it a while. Got "boggy", finally checked the K&N, clean but looked like a cherry glzed donut... way to much filter oil!!!! cleaned, and bog disapeared!!! follow K&N directions... never hurts!!!!
