Partial Subframe Removal

Remove intake...

The next step consists of loosening the Intake Boot (1) on the carburetor side and Air Box Boot (2) where the air box meets the carburetor. Once these items have been done, we can move on to the partial sub frame removal. In order to provide enough room, and for the ease of accessing the carburetor, we will be only removing part of the sub frame.

Remove subframe...

In order to accomplish this, we need to remove the TOP Sub frame mounting Bolt(s) (1).  We will also need to loosen the LOWER sub frame mounting bolts (2) located on both sides of the bike. 

Remove muffler...

In order to facilitate moving the sub frame out of the way, you will also need to remove the muffler assembly. The muffler assembly is bolted to the right rear part of the sub frame (1) and the lower right side of the sub frame (1) or frame, depending on your year.  You will also need to loosen the muffler clamp where it meets the head pipe. Once you have the muffler assembly removed from the bike, you should be able to slightly angle the sub frame down, but be careful, you will also need to disconnect the Crankcase Breather Tube (3) from the air box to allow full movement downward.
