Moose Racing air filter on XF/XP200.

I thought I would post some installation pictures of the Moose Racing filter I installed on my XF200. It's for a Suzuki DR200 as both bikes airboxes are the same. Well, kinda. The DR filter is removed/installed from the top while the XF/XP is from the side. Forchetto was the one that bought one first and discribed the trouble he had with removal and installation. Here's the old.

New.

Side by side.

Old with inner screen/basket

New with inner screen basket.

Bolt with wingnut (main source of Forchetto's frustation).

My solution. I removed the wingnut and replaced with nut. Now it's easier to start and tighten.

I changed the filter whille I was replacing the intake manifold. It was a whole lot easier with the carb out as I could align the bolt by sight rather than feel. The filter fits very well but care must be taken to make sure that the neoprene seal (black part) fits around the inside lip in the airbox. I could see why Forchetto was getting frustrated. I can't imagine how hard it was with the carb on and the wingnut on the end of the bolt.
