Remove the screw and air cleaner cover, remove the three TORX screws and the bracket from the filter element, gently pull both rubber breather tubes from the back of the element, remove the filter element and gasket, replace the filter element if damaged or if filter media cannot be adequately cleaned, gently pull the breather tubes from the breather bolts on the backplate, clean the filter element by washing the paper/wire mesh air filter element and the breather tubes in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, do not strike the filter element on a hard surface to dislodge dirt, allow the filter to either air dry or blow it dry from the inside with low pressure air. Do not use air cleaner filter oil on the Harley-Davidson paper/wire mesh air filter element. c. Hold the filter element up to a strong light source and if light is uniformly visible through the element, it is sufficiently clean.

2001 Honda CB 500 change the air filter

Changing the air filter on a 2001 Honda CB 500 involves a few steps. Here's a general guide on how to do it:
  1. Locate the Air Filter Compartment:
    • First, you'll need to locate the air filter compartment. For most motorcycles, including the CB 500, the air filter is typically under the seat or behind a side panel.
  2. Remove the Seat or Side Panel:
    • Use a screwdriver or a wrench to remove the seat or side panel. This will expose the air filter compartment. Keep the screws or bolts in a safe place so you don't lose them.
  3. Remove the Old Air Filter:
    • Open the air filter compartment. You may need to unscrew or unclip it. Once open, you'll see the air filter.
    • Carefully remove the old air filter. It may be dusty or dirty, so handle it carefully to avoid getting debris inside the air intake.
  4. Clean the Air Filter Compartment:
    • Before installing the new filter, clean the compartment with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
  5. Install the New Air Filter:
    • Take your new air filter and place it in the compartment. Ensure it fits snugly and correctly, as improper installation can affect engine performance.
  6. Reassemble Everything:
    • Once the new filter is in place, close the air filter compartment and reattach it if necessary.
    • Finally, reattach the side panel or seat, making sure all screws or bolts are tightened properly.
  7. Check Everything:
    • After everything is reassembled, start your motorcycle to ensure that everything is working correctly.

I need to remove the seat on my 2001 Soft Tail Standard FXST. Took out 2 bolts (one on either side) as well as the bolt for the passenger seat, but seat still won't budge. Any ideas???

Remove a bolt on each side as well as the passenger seat bolt on back fender and pull firmly BACK on the seat to dislodge the seat from the channel that is securing the front portion to the frame. Seat Strap will have to be removed with a T40 Torx wrench to allow separation.
