Hi Guys

I'm in the process of removing the airbox on my 998, problem is I cant get the shower injector bodies to detatch from the bell mouths.
It looked like a simple case of uncliping the plastic bodies, but although they all unclip there seems to be some resistance. Whats the secret?
I assume the 748R has the same setup
Cheers

Twist the bell mouths they should then come off allowing you to remove the airbox, they are only hand tight.
I can't remember whether they twist anti clockwise or clockwise!

Regards Frazelli

yep should just twist off and should be anti clockwise.
The 998 parts are slighly different than the 748R which also has a two piece airbox

Thanks skidlids
Checked out the parts manual, and came to same conclusion just like earlier dukes.
Cheers
What about the fuel connector and the loom connectors to the injectors?
