I have a 2010 Griso 1200 with 130k miles; on which I am in the process of replacing the shock.
I've manged to partially remove the airbox to gain access to the shock, replaced the shock, and am now in the process of attempting to reinstall the airbox.
When I say "partially remove the airbox".
I mean I could disconnect everything attached to it and tilt it up towards the fuel tank.
But I could not fully remove it from the Griso due to the snorkels not fitting through the frame.
While it only took about 15 mins to physically replace the shock. It has so far taken me several hours of attempting and failing to reattach the airbox.
Line up the snorkels, attempt to push onto motor, no go, double check everything, attempt to push onto motor, again no go, double check everything, run my fingers around the lip of the shorkels to verify they are not folding over, attempt to push onto motor, again no go, spend several mins to see what else could be preventing airbox to push back into place, etc ....
Through out all of this I managed to break the drain line that attaches to bottom of airbox.
The top inch of it ripped off.
After several hours and making absolutely no progress; I am stuck.
Are there any tricks to reinstalling the Griso's airbox ?
Thanks,
