use a BFH. You can order it from skidoo.
to get to the airbox you must remove windshield, guages, headlights, dash pod, and I think the panel on top the fuel tank. had mine out to fab a fresh air intake
for the secondary, remove chaincase cover, top gear, bearing retainer on the inside of the secondary, and push the jackshaft out from the chaincase side. you may have to use Jonny's suggestion of the BFH at this point, but don't buy it from Doo, much cheaper at a hardware store.
it can be done without removing the chaincase cover by popping off the rubber plug and using a deep socket on the end of a long extension after removing the bolt from the gear, and using that to push the jackshaft out and hold the top gear, chain, and metal bushing behing the gear in place. it's tricky, but saves stripping out the chaincase bolts when you put it back together.
while you have your secondary/jackshaft assembly apart, get a qrs spring compressor and get rid of those pain in the azz torx head bolts that go into the backside of the helix and replace with regular hex head metric bolts. that way you won't have to pull your jackshaft to do any secondary tuning.
good luck.....

The main box at the carbs slides out past the secondary. There is a tab to press and twist at the junction of the two boxes and then another tab to press that holds the brake line. It slides off the plate attatched to the carbs, so no more dealing with carb boots. Once out, you may want to glue the rubber grommets at the bottom of the box in place before you lose them. When reinstalling, the box slides back into place, clip the two boxes together, and give the box a sharp rap to get the brake line clip back in place. Hope that makes sense, I'm tired!

but yeah, great description........
thanks for all the help guys this site has some of the best people for helping others out !! wish it was that easy at the dealer ship... thanks again...
Yep, takes about 15 seconds to get the airbox out. Just make sure everything snaps back in tight when your putting it back together.

I like what you have done there with the airbox Teeroy. No more bogging out in deep powder I'm assuming. Is there a prefilter material? Wanna stop by and do mine? I'll buy the beer.
