I've looked at the stickies and researched on the web but I'm totally confused.

I'd like to remove the snorkel from my Tenere and replace the air filters with stage 1 and 2 can anybody explain to a newbie how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

the snorkel pulls out from the top..mine was hard so after I removed the air filter(on my R) I used a hairdryer to warm the rubber.

RE stage 1 +2 the filters are different on the R and X the Z uses these..

There's four links which appear seperate when Im typing them BUT dont appear that way in the post.

Cheers for the tip re warming the rubber. So the round filter is just a straight replacement for the original item? I just remove the snorkel altogether then the wee plastic cap with the hole is stage 2?

I'm sorry I'm really struggling to understand what's what!

Have you looked at all 4 links??..
Stage 1 is the main filter
Stage 2 is the side filter..replaces the side of the airbox itself.

Sorry I must appear like a total tool. Stage 2 is the wee round bit and it's also the side box?

Can I just remove the snorkel altogether and put a round filter in?

I don't know why I can't get my head round this!

Stage one is removing the original air filter with the DNA and its adapter.

Stage 2 is where you remove/replace the air box's side cover with a filter that fits in its place.

If you follow the last link i put up it will show you all the required bits.

Speak to the UK people..they are really helpful and go outta their way to make sure your happy.

Thanks for your patience!

Just use a screwdriver and pop the snorkel out it’s easy to do no need to heat it up. It will lever out. And as the other lad said. The stage one (inner filter ) is just a straight swop take old one out put a DNA or k&N in ,and stage 2 is take air box side panel off and replace with a DNA stage 2 filter. I did mine 4 weeks ago ( xt660r)take 15 mins simple job. I took my snorkel out cut all the bit off that go’s inside the air box, then drilled 5p size holes in the outer part of the snorkel ( each square) for more air flow then fitted it back. That way water would not drop back into the airbox when washing the bike as I noticed water does sit in around the snorkel. That’s just what I did as don’t want water going in the airbox if I can stop it.

Long time since I been called 'lad'..I'm 55!..

No worries.

As I said the rubber snorkle pulls up and out..if its hard,like mine was,and my mates just warm in up.

DNA filters have been proven to flow more air and have an increased surface area due to more pleats of fabric/filter. BUT its your choice init.

Have you looked at Kev's fueling/air mods yet?..loads of simple/free tips to help sort some 'issue's' ..some of us like to mod,others dont..
