Re: [ST] ST air filter replacement

[George K <gkeslin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On an '02, the whole top of the air box comes off.  There are more than 
four screws too,  The one that always get me is the one in the "center" 
of the air box.  If it were me,  I'd pull the entire air box and 
check/change my spark plugs while I'm in there.

The entire airbox can be removed by disconnecting the various hoses and sensors and the two screws holding the metal plate to on the lower left of the airbox.

It looks as though the snug fit provides tension to minimize the tank for moving. Also, be careful not to pinch any hoses with the tank.
