'''Note:''' This ~~article~~ is ~~undergoing a major revision,~~ and ~~we don~~'t ~~have good documentation on either process~~. ~~You~~'~~ll be on your own a little bit~~, ~~but with a good amount of patience~~ you ~~should be able to figure it out~~.

'''Note:''' The old airbox removal article stated that you would have to break your airbox to get it out. This is not true. You should be able to remove it undamaged if you are patient and careful enough. It shouldn't be necessary to rip it into pieces in order to remove it. And make sure you don't; if you put any extra holes in the airbox, you'll let too much air in and the bike won't run right.

~~This is probably the preferred method, but we don't have a lot of documentation on it.~~ Remove the rear wheel, both rear under-fender pieces, and the side fairings. Then, disconnect the airbox from the carbs and pull it all the way out through the back. You can get the airbox out intact this way.

Remove the rear wheel, both rear under-fender pieces, and the side fairings. Take out the battery, then the two bolts that hold the back of the box to the frame under the battery. Then, disconnect the airbox from the carbs and pull it all the way out through the back. You can get the airbox out intact this way.
