Default 2006 Air Filter

My owner's manual does not show the location of the air filter and I just bought a K&N filter that I want to install. Can somebody with an 2006 provide me any information before I start dismantling my bike trying to locate the thing?

It's real easy. You don't need to completely remove anything, just loosen and disconnect a few things.

The air duct covers - Remove the #5 allen screw and then pop out the tab from the rubber grommet and pull it away.

Remove the seat.

The Tank- Remove the front 2 8mm bolts, be careful there are two metal sleeves that will fall out once you lift the tank. Remove the 2 12mm bolts on the back of the tank. From here you can lift the front of the tank vertical and prop the tank up.

The Air box- Remove about 12 8mm bolts around the perimeter and one in the center.

Pull out the old filter and install your K&N. Put everything back together in reverse order.

Good Luck Hope this helps.
