The other day I noticed, for the first time, a small pop on deceleration. Today as I was riding, I noticed the air cleaner moving a little bit. I put my hand on it to find out that it wasn't just a little bit, it's extremely loose....like barely holding on.

Seems a bit strange that it would happen that quickly..but maybe it didn't....not sure.

As I go to take it apart...just seeing if anyone has ideas, thoughts or anything I should be concerned about/looking at.

Loctite is your friend. Blue.

 

 

Looks like you're missing a breather bolt......

or it's just the angle of the pic....
.

 

Nope - it fell out.

 

Am I wrong in thinking that it'll be inside the bracket when I take the little cover off? I guess i'll find out tonight.

 

It could be... I'm unfamiliar with your set-up. I didn't know that bracket was all hollow and there was enough room inside for the bolt to fall in, totally out of sight. I thought maybe it was just left off.

As long as you're aware of it....

Good luck

 

I don't always do a pre-ride inspection, but it's a good idea. Heck, my horn bracket broke over the weekend. Hung on by the wires! Damn horn bracket is like $32 retail. It just pays to put your hands on the metal parts and give them a jiggle from time to time.

 

yep...that's for sure....lesson learned.

 

Who installed the intake? As other have said loctite is a must
