airbox rage!! help?
« on: 12 October 2014, 09:29:20 pm »
So fitting new engine to 98 fzs 600  :D an hour trying to get the airbox on and no joy! Tried lots of lube and i get 2/4 at best... is there a way to get them on easier than brute force and a long bar

I've been there. Warm them up, I used a hot air gun but even a hair dryer would help.
FZS600, Speed Triple 1050, FZS1000, DT175MX etc.
