Hello all,

I just bought a 90 LT250R and I am trying to get the airbox out without removing the engine so I can scrub it down. The previous owner let it sit out in the elements without the lid off and the inside of the box is dirty. I am doing a near complete tear down without removing the engine minus a top end re-build. I've tried removing the boots and carb, and even removing the bolts holding the rear shock to try and wiggle the box out of the frame with no luck. I remember being able to remove it when I had the same year bike a few years back but it's been a while since I had it and can't remember how I did it. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

remove the rear shock and linkage and it will come out.
