This was a method from Deefer666 where you don't have to remove the airbox, he knows his sh*t. I've also got to get the carbs off at some point as #3 is colder on idle, been putting it off for 2 years now!
Seat off, tank off
Side panels off
Rubber air box protector either removed of just released and pulled back
Battery out
Slacken the two side airbox bolts and the top one (dont remove).
Slacken the airbox/carb clamps, place lever (long screwdriver) between the carbs and the airbox & lever the box back
Do the bolts back up to hold the airbox in the back position
Remove the choke cable
Unplug TPS module
Slacken carb inlet manifold clamps
Pull carbs backwards from manifold and out
Manouvere carbs out of the LHS of the bike
Put everything back on in reverse order of coming off
