Removing airbox

How do i remove the airbox from the bike? Its trapped inside the frame. Can someone explain me how? It looks like i need to remove the rear wheel to get the airbox out?

I made a k&n stage 3 airbox to put in

The instructions are in the service manual chapter 3 page 10.
Remove the rear wheel, ECU, rectifier/regulator, fuse box 1, starter relay, all hoses and clamps and the drive chain tensioner. I am assuming of course that you have an XTX/R and not a Tenere of course.

I am making a stage 3 myself soon would be interested to see some pictures of yours if you have the time.

Oh ok thx, i thought it was a little absurd that the rear wheel needed to be removed for it. :-)

Yes when i get home i will send you some pictures, do you want pictures from anything specific?

Anything would be great really but I am particularly interested how you attached the filters to the box.

Ok, din't have time yet to take pictures or instal the airbox.
I cut off a little lenght from the rubber hose inside the airbox, siliconed a 50mm diameter 15degree pvc bend to it.
Then i have a 75->50mm reduction between the bend and the filter. Hope my explanation is a bit clear.
Photos will folow.

Thanks mate I did read that thread I was just hoping for a little more clarification as to how the throttle body is connected to the main filter.
