Lower airbox removal

[murphc13]

Hi all.Im just removing the bottom of the airbox to install the abs lines.
Do the long bolts that hold the TB clamps inplace need to be fully removed to remove the airbox?Had a bad experience with tb clamps on another bike and don’t want to ‘go too far’ too soon

Gen2: No. Loosen only

Ok.How far does it need to be backed out?

Till it pops off. Doesnt take too much. Probably an inch or so

And will take some force the first time coming off

Thanks for the replies men.

I know what you mean by bad experience. If it's like the ZX-14, those clamps have spacers to prevent over-tightening on the ducts. If you pull the screw out, the spacers fall out.

RSV4.Oetiker clamp type.TBs should never be removed.No room to put the stock clamps back on unless engine dropped.Some guys use Suzuki clamps but even tightening those is almost impossible with engine in frame.

Ok.Ive never changed lines before.The bits that connect to the abs module I’m unsure of.
Do I just unscrew them and remove and replace with the new ones?Sounds obvious
This is the front that I’ll do first

Guys how many of the 4 steel lines coming from the ABS module need to be removed?I have the front one out.Not as easy as I thought it was gonna be.

 

[murphc13]

I’ve removed the steel line that goes over the rad and block connects to the front right caliper.

Here’s the HEL kit

Few pics.Libe from ABS unit-> front MC(only aftermarket line that replaces a stock hard factory line according to HEL).

Can it not rotate towards engine block ?

It can but it touches the block.Didn’t think the heat would be good for it.

looking at the book the stock is routed behind the throttle cables . Rotating forward will free up some slack for steering if needed . That pump / line get hot in the engine bay already . leaving a 2 mm air gap from line to block their will be no temp difference in you fluids

I started the job with it rotated forward and wasn’t fully happy with it.I’ll re visit tomorrow maybe(it’s almost 10pm here now).
Thanks C10.

If I get home from work early enough I'll grab a pic how mine is routed.
