33. Release the clip securing the airbox breather hose to the engine.



34. Release the two fixings securing the airbox to the frame.



35. Manoeuvre the airbox from the frame.

Installation

1. Position the airbox to the frame ensuring the semi circular feature at the front of the airbox is located on the frame cross tube behind the engine. Attach the airbox breather hose to the engine and secure it with the clip before proceeding.



2. Pivot the airbox upwards at the rear and engage the two bolts that secure it to the frame. Tighten the bolts to 9 Nm,

3. Refit the intake hose to the airbox and secure it with the clip.

Caution! Ensure the hose is positively located to the airbox and is retained by the clip through its full circumference. Rectify if necessary as poor engine performance and engine damage may result from poor hose sealing.

4. Position the intake duct to its bracket and also to the intake hose. Secure the hose with its clip. Tighten the duct fixing to 9 Nm.

Caution! Ensure the hose is positively located to the duct and is retained by the clip through its full circumference. Rectify if necessary as poor engine performance and engine damage may result from poor hose sealing.

5. Reconnect the MAP and air temperature sensors.



6. Refit the intake plenum to the throttle bodies and intake duct. Tighten all hose clips.

Caution! Ensure the plenum is positively located to the throttle bodies and intake duct and is retained by the clips through their full circumference. Rectify if necessary as poor engine performance and engine damage may result from poor plenum/duct sealing.

7. Position the battery box to the frame.

8. Tighten the battery box fixings to 9 Nm.

9. Reposition the seat lock to the frame and battery box. Tighten the lock fixings to 5 Nm.

10. On the right hand side, fit the two relays and sockets to their mounting points on the battery box. Ensure that both relays are fully engage on their mountings.



11. Arranging the cables to the rear of the ECM bracket as noted prior to removal, refit the ECM bracket and tighten its screws to 3 Nm.



12. Locate the ECM to its bracket and tighten its screws to 3 Nm.

13. Reconnect both multi-plugs to the ECM.

14. Reconnect the barometric pressure sensor.



15. Working on the left hand side, position the relay pack to the airbox.

16. Fit the relay pack screws and tighten to 3 Nm.



17. Reattach the roll over valve to its bracket.

18. Position the fuse box to the battery box. Retain the fuse box with new fir-tree plugs.

19. Reconnect the fall detection switch and alternator rectifier.

20. If fitted, position and secure the evaporative canister to the airbox using new cable-ties. Reattach the hoses to the canister ensuring they are fitted in the positions noted during stripdown.



21. Refit the rear mudguard as described on page 17.13.

22. Refit the rear wheel as described on page 16.9.
