Airfilter on Honda Transalp XL 650V
I am going to Marocco in May. Recently I tried to take a look at the airfilter wich is placed under the tank. Considering all the sand and dust I guess I will have to clean it regulary so I wanted to know how to get to it.
For a start I couldn't get the fuel-tube disconnected wich means that you can't take the tank completely off. Ain't really handy. Can I just cut this tube in two and place a connecting piece in between that will make removing the tank completely possible in the future?
The airfilter on the new transalp is a dry on. Not the foam type you have to soak in oil before placing. My dealer told me I can basicly shake the dust and sand out if needed. But he did consider placing an extra filter in front of the air-in-take.
Euh, where exactly would this be? I thought it was in front of the tank on the left side. Who can confirm this?
And has anyone an idea how I could place an extra airfilter? Or shouldn't I bother about it?
