air box is quite easy, .. although if u dont have the special tool to re tighten the clamps .. u will have to use a pair of side cutters and can become a lil tricky. . first off unclip the top clamp near the chamber. just stick a small flat head in the middle of the bit that lifts and pull upwards. do the same at the bottom of the box. and then u will find i think 4 from memorie bolts or alan keys and undo . and there u go the top of the air box will just lift off:) ..
