We have trouble keeping the links and photos ,not sure what the story is and how to get them back .

The last part of the URL in the links are missing - the page ID and the web page language tag (html).

eg: (how-to) should be (how-to-25865.html).

You would have to go back through each link, search the forum to find its respective page and then change the link accordingly.

The missing photo's are because by default they are uploaded to imageshack (an outside website) and they delete our photo's.
The links left in the forum end up with nothing to link to and no longer display.

I've gone and edited the orginal post and and re linked them with [url} [url} but still the link won't come back etc.
I'll get around to trying to fix them up one day when I get some time .
Or give me an idea ??

The URL's are still not correct.

Have a look at the centre stand one at the top of the thread. They should all be like that. Use that one as a reference.

You can't use whitespace (spacebar) in the links either. That's why you get the %20 in them. The internet does not
like whitespace and auto adds the %20 to try and fill the gap often without success. The url's in the link need to be character for character exactly the same as the url on the page they are linked to or it wil not work.

Maybe If you suggest to Arenalife to possibly give me moderator access I can fix it for you.
(Part of my job is to build and maintain a corporate website so I have quite a few skills on the subject)

I had to find the original as you said BB and link it again ,just need to find them and do it .
fixed painting air ducts and fairing removal.
I think all the image poster picture links are gone ,my own photobucket pictures on air ducks are still up to see.

I'll see if arenalife will add another moderator will computer skills ,I only keep the peace so to speak.

Quack, Quack

If it's spelled like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then ......................
Spell checker couldn't help him on that one! hehehehe

QUACK QUACK ...

I can't spell for shit , lucky I look like Brad pitt or I would be in trouble.

Changing the air filter element HOW TO...

I just finished this up a day or two ago, and was suprised how easy this was.

Remove the tank (I recommend doing it when the tank is empty, but I did when it was full )
1.a. under the front of the seat, two bolts.
1.b. slide the tank back about 1" to free it from the slotted bracket that holds it at the front.
1.c. lift the back of the tank up. If you have a spare set of hands, have someone hold the tank. (I just took a 3" roll of tape and set it under the back of the tank)
1.d. At the rear right of the tank on the bottom are two slip on hoses, just work them loose.
1.e. Lift the tank a little and in the front left is the fuel line. It has a coupler on it, you'll need to press in one side, this will release the clasps and allow you to slide it off.
1.f. Beside the fuel line is the eletrical plugs. Similar to the fuel line, find the clip, press, gently pull apart.
1.g. The tank is now free -- lift it off and place it on somethng that will protect the fittings on teh bottom.

Remove the Air Filter Element cover
2.a. This is the black box right under where the rear of the tank was. Two screws are at the top, and two are way down inside the frame. You'll know it is the right part if the housing is right under the hoses that you slid off in step 1.d. above. Undo the screws.
2.b - HINT. The bottom screws are in the frame pretty far. I just took TWO extensions for a screwdriver and put them together to give me a driver with about 8" of length to work with.
2.c. - HINT 2 - the bottom screws will NOT COME OUT of the air filter cover, they are clipped in so you don't loose them!
2.d. Lift the top off, wipe it all down with a clean rag.
2.3. Lift out and replace the air filter element

Put it all back together, just reverse the process.

Total time took about 10 minutes and that's because I was taking pictures, which I will post if anyone wants them.

Best of luck, easy to do, but as always, if you are nervous take it to a professional!

Pics are always big help to those of us who are mechanically challenged!

ok, here are 3 photos showing the process of removal, replace air filter element and reverse.

Pics & Vids such great tools for explaining how-to.
Thanks for taking time to review how to get at air filter element and setting rpm light!

Also, the written how-to's are much appreciated.

And putting the how-to's in one thread was stroke of genius.

When's somebody gonna do the suspension adjustment pic/vid?
