After replacing air filter yesterday & baring in mind where it is & having to remove parts of fairing. How much are those who prefer to leave it to dealers to do, what are they being charged. Is all bit of a pain. Quite time consuming. Good fun though !  :banana:

Ziderman

That's it then. Lack response can only mean big money from service centres for such menial tasks.....!

I looked under the tank......once  :oops: and the array of stuff lurking there, stared back.. and seem to say 'oh look someone who knows not what the fook they are doing :death:'..... sooooo i put the tank back on and went back inside to lie down for a bit  :yes:

How long does it take to take the fairing off? On my 08 GTR I can whip it off in a couple of mins.
Then its a case of moving the relays and slightly bending the bracket out of the way.
I reckon it can be done in about 15 - 20 mins

 :agree:

Yeah, even I've changed the air filter twice, tis a piece of cake to do, just take your time and be patient.

Ziderman

That's my point. The rate per hour a garage charges would make it pretty pricy I reckon. Reckon took me an hour.

So then, I nice long weekend down to Ziderman country and a long draft of the golden fluid while Ziderman changes the filter at reasonable West Country rates    YES?    or      :nono:
Just because many do it does not make it right. Just because many think it does not make it true.

sounds good to me, we could have an air filter party, the Big Zeee changes air filters, whilst we all sit around sipping tea, eating cake and making encouraging noises.. :mfr_lol:
