Hey,
so i installed my K&N today, considering that im compleatly unmechanicly inclineed, getting access to the air filter was a PITA. I've read other posts saying that the 3 tabs screwed are tight as hell and many have stripped them out but i got them out easy, i thought this was going to be the hard part. You have to loosen the 3 tab's screws on the bottom for the filters tabs to slide in right.
Putting on the new filter was rediculously crazy, the three screws just werent lining up, I finally got the two sides in but the top wasnt lineing up right. Then i dropped the screw, luckly it didnt go into one of the ports, it fell between the first port and the wall of the airbox, I reached in to get it but it slipped and went further down. There was no way I could get it out, I tried everything. Its like right undernearth the first tab. I dont know how to take the bike apart even more so i gave up after I scraped and cut my fingers up trying to get it and put everything back together
I don't think theres any way for it to go into the ports if the only open part of them is the top rim of each. Should I just let it be or do I have to get it out.
Sory for the long read and thanks
