Original filters go inside the plastic air tubes that run inside the fairing to the airbox under the tank. You need to remove the fairing and tank, then you can unclip the air tubes from inside the airbox and remove them. Then it's about 7 or 8 screws to remove and the airbox will split in half so you get access to the filters.
If you have carbon air tubes, some of them have the runners inside to hold the oem filters in place. Many of them don't though, so you need to use a different type of filter like the inner-airbox ones.
Pipercross do excellent replacement filters for the air tubes. They're a two-layer "washable" foam that filters better than the paper oem ones. You can clean and re-oil them (this traps the dirt) so once you've bought them you don't need to buy any more, whereas oem ones get replaced every 2 years as part of the major service. Pipercross filters are about £20 from most Pipercross dealers, or Demon-Tweeks online. MPX-038 is the part number I think. | Cheers Antonye  |
