CB550K Air Box to Carb Plenum Tricks/Tips?
« on: July 01, 2015, 10:05:57 AM »
Wow ... and I thought the air box on my Ski-Doo MXZ800 was a bear to remove/reinstall.  Any secrets, tricks or tips you guys could share to make the air plenum removal/installation easier on this 550.  The manual says loosen the clamps, remove the two bolts to the air box and "wriggle" it free.  Well, I had to remove the air box and the battery box to even have a shot at reinstalling it.  Even then I wrassled with the thing and I hope I didn't crack the boots.  When I pulled it out, I shoved the boots back into the plenum - but wasn't sure I could get them back in right (once on the bike) for the install.  Anyway, I got the bike all back together and she fired right up.  Ripped up and down my township road a little - got a slight stumble coming off the pilot and onto the needle, but when she hits the mains - hang on!  What a blast!  Next up is to synchronize the carbs and just ride.   8)
