By Bjam 06/2003 #1 Bike
with seat and tank removed showing standard airbox lid held on with
6 screws.
#2 Once you take the airbox lid off you are confronted with the
standard air filter.
#3 Lift the filter out (no screws) and you will see the two air
intake trumpets and (A) a piece of black sponge type material which
is where the crankcase breather hose feeds into the airbox. (B) The
air temperature sensor. (C) The PAIR system feed.
Look underneath the standard airbox and you will see two hose clips
securing the rubber trumpets onto the throttle bodies. Undo these
two screws using a very looooong screwdriver. Disconnect the air
temperature sensor. Disconnect the electrical feed to the PAIR
solenoid. Undo three screws, one holding the pair connector cable
and the air pressure sensor (Denso) and the other two holding the
PAIR solenoid. Finally disconnect the crackcase breather hose. The
entire airbox bottom will now lift off. At this stage be very
careful not to let anything fall into the throttle bodies - cover
them up if necessary.
#4 Here is the bike with the airbox removed. (d) The disconnected
PAIR system (e) Underneath the throttle connecting arms you will see
your water temperature sensor. (f) here are the black, blue and pink
wires for the DIY TRE Mod.
So, time to fit the filter kit.
#1 This is looking from the underneath of the new airbox plate.
a. You can see the air temperature sensor already fitted. b. This is
the hose clip that attaches the bottom of the rubber trumpet to the
throttle body and now, effectively, secures the airbox plate. c.
These are two holes pre-drilled to accept the PAIR solenoid. d. This
is a single pre-drilled hole for the pressure sensor and cable
retaining clip for the PAIR solenoid.
#2 Looking on top of the new airbox plate you can see the two, very
sexy, Pipercross airfilters. These are attached to the rubber
trumpets using two cable ties - simply but effective. a. The top of
the air temperature sensor.
#3 Here the airbox plate has been attached to the throttle bodies
using the standard hose clips. The cable tie that hold the air
filter to the rubber trumpets can be clearly seen. e. This is the
new crankcase breather hose that I simply ran around the headstock
and back out the rear of the bike terminating just before and over
the front sprocket. That way I figured if any oil residue escaped
along this pipe it would be simply ejected onto the chain. Of course
the pipe was secured to stop the chain from eating it up.
#4 Here is the system all connected up are ready to go. The tank is
replaced as well as the seat and then hold on tight because you are
going to feel the difference immediately. You can just see at the
extreme right of this picture the electrical tape I used to splice
up my cut cables after fitting the DIY TRE mod. Incidentally I ran
the cables up the side of the bike where the crankcase breather hose
ran, through the headstock and fitted a switch placed just to the
right of the main display. That way I can switch it on and off at
will. This may be necessary when carrying a pillion for example who
likes to control the bike speed by holding onto your genitals!!!
Good luck all of you making this mod - it is worth every penny and
makes a real difference.
