Lift and support the fuel tank......no instruction as if you need some, please do not proceed further! :-). Kidding!...... remove both black side panels secured by a single Allen bolt and held in place by pegs through rubber grommets.  Remove the riders seat, attached on both sides of the frame by a single Allen bolt.

Disconnect the IAT sensor (Intake Air Temperature Sensor) electrical connector arrowed in the picture below (left lower rear of airbox).  Use a flat bladed screw driver to apply pressure between the two raised bits arrowed and pull.

Now on the right rear lower side of the airbox - undo the screw in the foreground of the' picture below, which holds the IAP sensor (Intake Air Pressure sensor) which the electrical connector you can see below is connected to..........and remove the cable retaining clip

Loosen the rear throttle body clamp - screw arrowed in the photo below

Front right underside of the airbox - disconnect the crankcase breather hose. The hose retaining spring clip might be difficult to get to...before I could get access for pliers to squeeze the two clip 'prongs' and release the retaining clip I had to twist it round by hand.

A torch might be handy here - arrowed is the front throttle body clamp screw.  Loosen this with a long cross-head screw driver.

Disconnecting PAIR hoses - at this point I decided the easiest way to proceed was to remove the hose from the front cylinder PAIR air inlet.....partly for ease of access and not least as the airbox is off for removal of the PAIR system!  In the photo below the hose retaining spring clip has already been released.
NB: To reduce risk of inadvertently bending radiator fins - slacken the two upper radiator mount to frame bolts and remove the third mount bolt (lower right-hand side altogether). You can now swing the radiator forward a few centimetres giving you more space to work in.  I also taped a piece of card to the inner face of the radiator to give some protection.

Nearly there.........you will now be able to raise the airbox enough to remove the rear cylinder PAIR hose from the PAIR pump/valve and disconnect the PAIR valve electrical connector (both arrowed below - photo after I'd done this and removed the airbox, for clarity)

Gentle persuasion, to pull that front PAIR hose through and you can lift the airbox away

I wrapped some cling film over the throttle body openings and secured this in place with elastic bands to keep dirt and anything I might drop out.

Now where's that PAIR removal kit Chewy sent me?!   Chewy's PAIR removal kit & instructions
