83 GS750ES Air box....

[rvnkvn]

I just got a stock airbox to put on my Zuk, and had some issues with the installation of the factory stuff. So I checked out the SEARCH feature and found an answer....Do you REALLY have to lower OR remove the engine to install the airbox in these bikes?? SUZUKI, Are you crazy???

Anyone know any short cuts on this one, I'd LOVE to hear it. Thanks again!!

Surprise!!!!!Tell everyone who asks about the airbox.Rkt-Rch says he got it in by undoing all the engine bolts and shimmying it in.Forgot to put it in when I put the engine in the frame the first time.Pulled the engine out and put the box in.Was way harder to even put the engine in with it there.PITA design

I think once it is "in" the frame , you can remove the battery and slide it rearward, to install the carb's in the boots on the heads, and then slide the airbox forward onto the carbs. Simple, except you cannot get the box in the frame unless the head OR the engine is out.

My frame was bare when I did it.No battery box,nothing but the engine and the air box.Nothing easy about getting this thing in.

It's a PITA but no you don't have to move/remove the motor.
New airbox boots help a bunch.

If you say so

I have not tried to remove the boots from the air box itself..I thought about splitting in the center and resealing once it is in the frame, but that may be another problem to deal with.

Now that you mention it , when I stripped the bike that the airbox came out of ,I took it out after removing the motor. I forgot about that.
