Gen 2 Ram Air Tube Removal
The ram air tubes do not normally need to be removed except for general disassembly. I took my ram air tubes off to seal them and to remove the grommets which had been pushed inside by the fairing projections. Do First:
Remove side and lower fairings (see https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/gen-ii-busa-information/127746-gen2-hayabusa-fairing-tutorial-videos-w-pics.html)
Remove dash panels and nose fairing (see https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/maintenance-do-yourself/178519-gen-2-upper-fairing-removal.html )
Tools:
4mm hex tool
non-permanent thread locking agent
Removal
1. Use a 4mm hex tool to remove the screw which retains the right ram air tube.
2. Pull the ram air tube straight out perpendicular to the frame where it inserts.
3. Use a 4mm hex tool to remove the two screws (indicated by arrows in the pic below) that fasten the fuse block bracket to the left ram air tube.
4. Use a 4mm hex tool to remove the screw that fastens the left ram air tube to the fairing stay.
5. Pull the left ram air tube straight out perpendicular to where it inserts in the frame.
Installation
6. Installation of the ram air tubes is the reverse procedure. Rout the 4 wires on the left side to the outside of the left ram air tube. The wires rout around the front of the bracket on the ram air tube that fastens to fairing stay as shown below.
7. Use non-permanent thread locking agent on the screws that secure the ram air tubes to the fairing stay...
and the screws that secure the fuse block bracket.
These screws do not have a torque spec but I suggest good and snug or about 1 to 1.5 foot pounds. Do not over-tighten on the plastic parts.
