Steps to replace the battery
Air Cleaner Removal
1. Loosen the air intake hose clamp (with a flathead screwdriver), which holds the intake tube to the air box lid.
2. Once the hose clamp is loosened, pop open the two spring-loaded clamps on the left and right side of the air box. The clamps help secure the lid to the air box. On the back of the air box lid there are 4 plastic slots, which match up with 4 corresponding tabs on the air box. In order to unhinge the lid from the air box slide the lid away from you about an inch and gently lift the lid up. Ensure that the lid is free from the air box hinge; then carefully disconnect the air intake hose from the lid at the hose clamp and remove the lid from the engine compartment.
3. Lift the air filter out of the air box.
4. The lower air box is removed by just tugging on it, it will pop out. It's held in place by three rubber pins that wedge into the indentations in the plastic air box.
