1. | If equipped with security system siren, have the hands-free fob present. Turn the ignition switch to the ignition (IGN) position to disarm the security system. | |
2. | Remove main fuse. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Fuses and Relays. | |
3. | Remove the air cleaner. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Air Cleaner. | |
4. | See Figure 1. Disconnect rear breather hose (2). | |
5. | Slide the O-ring (4) up each velocity stack (1) body to reveal the three retaining fasteners (5). Unscrew the fasteners and lift off the velocity stacks. | |
6. | Carefully lift up the air box bottom tray. The front has a grommet which is pressed on to a brass bullet. The rear has a breather hose which was disconnected in a previous step. Disengage the front grommet and slide the rear breather hose out through the hole in the rear of the air box tray. | |
NOTICE Cover the throttle body bores with duct tape to prevent objects from falling down the injector bores. Do NOT use shop cloths or objects that could damage the throttle plates. (00212d) | ||
7. | See Figure 2. Cover injector intakes. |

1 | Positive battery terminal bolt (under boot) |
2 | Negative battery terminal bolt |
3 | Hold down strap |
4 | Tabs (strap anchor points, one located under battery tray) |
5 | Throttle cables |
1. | Turn ignition switch OFF. | |
2. | Connect hold down strap to bottom of battery caddy. | |
3. | See Figure 3. Slide the fully charged battery into battery caddy, terminal side up, negative battery terminal toward the right side. NOTE Battery must sit flat on bottom of tray pad. Verify that battery does not sit on front edge of pad. | |
4. | See Figure 3. Verify proper routing of throttle cable. | |
5. | Stretch hold down strap over top of battery. Latch hold down strap to tab on top of battery. | |
![]() Never route throttle cable over the battery. Fire due to short circuit could occur and cause death or serious injury. (00494c) ![]() Connect positive (+) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00068a) NOTICE Connect the cables to the correct battery terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to the motorcycle electrical system. (00215a) NOTICE Do not over-tighten bolts on battery terminals. Use recommended torque values. Over-tightening battery terminal bolts could result in damage to battery terminals. (00216a) | ||
6. | Insert a battery terminal bolt through the battery positive cable (red), into the threaded hole of the battery positive terminal. | |
7. | Tighten the bolt to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs). | |
8. | Insert the other battery terminal bolt through the battery negative cable (black), into the threaded hole of the battery negative terminal. | |
9. | Tighten the bolt to 6.8–7.9 N·m (60–70 in-lbs). | |
NOTICE Keep battery clean and lightly coat terminals with petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion. Failure to do so could result in damage to battery terminals. (00217a) | ||
10. | Apply a light coat of petroleum jelly or corrosion retardant material to battery terminals. | |
11. | Remove the covering from the injector intakes. | |
12. | See Figure 4. Inspect the gasket on the bottom of the air box tray. The gasket is located by the three alignment pins on the mating surface. NOTE Replace damaged gaskets. | |
13. | Place the air box tray over the injectors. Make sure the taller slanted lip of the tray faces the front of the motorcycle. Slide the rectangular hole in the tray down over the threaded mounting stud. | |
14. | See Figure 1. Insert rear breather hose through hole in rear of tray. Pull until hose seals properly. | |
15. | Align the front grommet on the air box tray with the brass bullet. Press the air box tray down firmly. Make sure that the tray sits flush on top of the injectors. NOTE In the next step, you will install the velocity stacks. Each velocity stack has an index mark. Align the index mark on the velocity stack with the corresponding index mark on the air box tray. | |
16. | See Figure 4. Align the index marks. Install the velocity stacks, the longest stack toward the front. Start all fasteners by hand first, making sure that none are cross-threaded. Tighten the three fasteners on each velocity stack to 6 N·m (53 in-lbs). | |
17. | Slide the O-ring down each velocity stack until it contacts the three fasteners. Slide the breather hose onto the rear breather hose fitting. | |
18. | Install the air filter element, air cleaner cap, wing nut, air box top, electrical connector on air box, and air box cover. Lower the seat down. | |
19. | Install the main fuse. See Maintenance and Lubrication → Fuses and Relays. |
