Over the weekend I had some time to start taking things apart and getting ready to install my new LSL kit. I removed the RH tank fairing - What a PITA! Could they have any more variety of fasteners holding the bodywork on? I got to the point where I could pivot the tank up and I figured while there, I would take the air filter out to check on its condition. Glad I did. It looks like the previous owner had some pet mice living in there. The picture doesn't really show it, but about a 3" square section of the filter was all chewed up and there was a bunch of bedding lurking around. The new K&N should be here tomorrow.

Oh - While in here - What is the verdict on removing the plastic bottles inside the airbox?

No effect by any means.
