Mooseduncan Posted April 16, 2010 Share #1 Posted April 16, 2010 I'm feelin like a total newb here... I can't locate the air filter on this bike!! Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD10-8fire Posted April 16, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 16, 2010 I have a 96 royal star & it is located under the tank. You have to remove the tank & that will expose the air box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooseduncan Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted April 16, 2010 Oh how convenient!! Thanks for the help bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted April 16, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 16, 2010 Yep, lots of fun. But it only stinks the first couple times you do it. Then it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes0778 Posted April 16, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2010 Yep, lots of fun. But it only stinks the first couple times you do it. Then it's easy. Should we tell him about getting the air box apart, or let him find out??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFan Posted April 16, 2010 Share #6 Posted April 16, 2010 Should we tell him about getting the air box apart, or let him find out??? Right,,,that one screw that is tucked away in an akward place. Boy was I frustrated when I did this the first time. The guy who designed this is on my list "people to meet and have a few words with before I die" like: The person who designed the economy airplain seats with the neck braker head restrain.

StarFan Posted April 16, 2010 Share #8 Posted April 16, 2010 Don´t worry. We will be around to guide you if you need some advice. Just don´t try to rip that Air filter out unless you have gotten the top/lid off and away from the airfilter case. That filter is not going anywhere unless you remove the top,,,,,,and that is where the screw placed at the front plays the head role ! Enjoy and try not to get overexited,,,,,,maybe a good idea to keep a bag around if you should hyperventilate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and if available a second pair of hands is handy taking care of the wires and hose that you find, under the tank, connecting the tank to the bike.

Mooseduncan Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted April 16, 2010 Tank is about 1/2 full right now, gonna ride it tonight after work and check/clean or change the filter tomorrow. I LOVE this bike. Seriously, coming from a Harley Wideglide to this bike was definitely a step in the right direction even if the air filter is under the tank!! Has anyone found anything to go in the empty space where the air filter on a Harley would normally be? I see that the Road Stars have the air filter there... wonder if the cover could somehow be fitted there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipper Posted April 17, 2010 Share #11 Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) Right,,,that one screw that is tucked away in an akward place. Boy was I frustrated when I did this the first time. The guy who designed this is on my list "people to meet and have a few words with before I die" like: The person who designed the economy airplain seats with the neck braker head restrain. Along with the guy that designed the water saving shower head and the oriental that designed the constant 4 second beep to let you know that you were out of paper in your fax machine!
