Anger management group for reinstalling carbs?
Seriously though, everything is unbolted all the way back to the rear fender, I've got enough play in the air box to easily manipulate the carbs around, but it's so damn hard to get them into the boots from the air box, and if you do, it's one or the other, or it pulls them off the motor side. After bashing my head on my brake lever I gave up for the day.
Is there a good trick for this? Or just persistence? I've had them in and out a few times, and it never gets easier |

Make sure everything is lined up properly. You must shove both carbs on at same time. Don't try to do one at a time. When installing, make sure the clamps are completely loose, hanging on by last screw thread. Or remove clamps completely.
1. Both boots on engine fully. Tighten clamps 2. Both carbs onto boots fully. Tighten clamps 3. Shove airbox onto carbs. Some people remove the coil springs and use clamps afterwards Helps to lube all the contact areas with some silicone grease. |

Note that you can't do it all in one step. Must secure boots to engine first and tighten clamps between boots and engine. Then attach carbs and tighten those clamps. That way, when you go to install airbox, nothing squirms out of the way on you.

can I join your anger management group? I feel like I don't have the dexterity or fine motor skills to do this correctly so I enlisted the help of a coworker! He is a trained mechanic and now helping me on his lunch breaks...thank God!

The pregens have airbox mod available, where you cut the battery box off the airbox, making it about 100 times easier to get things together. Can this be done on the newgens?

This thread is in the 2008 - 2012 Ninja 250R Tech Talk section, so I'm assuming this is for a newgen, but maybe it's in the wrong forum.
Tylor, please clarify what motorcycle this is. |

Seems he was trying to shove everything all together all at once: boots, carbs, airbox. That's going to make things shift around unnecessarily regardless if it's pre-gen or new-gen.
On the new-gen bikes, removing battery-tray is easier, but not necessary at all. I've found unbolting airbox and sliding back 10mm is all that's needed. This allows you to pull carbs off boots. Then pull out left carb-boot from between head and carbs. This frees up enough space to slide carbs out left side (after removing cables and fairing/idle-speed-cable bracket). Actually did this procedure 5x this last weekend when tracking down finicky carbs. Turned out I had a blade of grass in my float-bowls!!! |
