How to Take Out the Airbox From a Suzuki LT250R

The Suzuki LT250R was one of the first four-wheeled ATVs to incorporate the characteristics that are common on sport quads of today. Despite production years that only lasted from 1985 to 1992, the 250 cc, two-stroke engine, A-arm front suspension and three disc brakes make it a popular quad among riders who are looking to transform their ATV into a completely upgraded, high-performance machine. Removing the airbox is a common upgrade that allows for an aftermarket intake that boosts horsepower and torque.

Instructions

  1. Removing the Airbox

    • 1

      Locate and unscrew the four bolts that secure the seat to the quad. You'll find two at the rear of the seat and two near the front. With the bolts removed, lift the seat off the quad.

    • 2

      Unbolt and remove the rear fenders.

    • 3

      Remove the bolts that hold the airbox in place, using the socket set.

    • 4

      Remove the top and unscrew the wing nut that attaches the filter to the intake hole. Remove the filter and place a paper towel in the intake hole to prevent debris from falling into the intake/carburetor.

    • 5

      Unscrew the brackets on the exterior of the box and the carburetor boot that attaches the box to the carburetor intake.

    • 6

      Pull the box out of the frame and remove the brackets from the frame.

    • 7

      Remove the paper towel from the intake hole and re-attach the filter, hand-tightening the wing nut.
