- Tutorial on how to change the air filter on a Africa Twin 1100 2022 2023 without removing the tank.
This is part of the 18000 km/ 12000 mile service in which i explain all the steps.
Don't forget to watch the other videos showing the full service.
Removing the whole tank for a mere air filter replacement is a deal break. thanks Honda for doing this.
Didn't remove the tank. Just the side covers. Watch the video.
there is a lot of talk about the possibility of breaking the joints in the effort to unblock the rubber joints located behind the hull. However, I saw that you didn't go too far in dismantling, this makes me think that Honda dealers don't look kindly on repairs done by us!!! Thanks for the excellent explanation. A thousand thanks 👏👏👏
Thanks for your comment!
at 5:25 I got stuck and couldn't figure out the removal of the cover thanks for showing!!!
thanks for your comment!
My brother, you are doing a wonderful, excellent, and elaborate job. I congratulate you on that, and how happy I am to subscribe to your channel. I wish you success, my dear..👍👏👏👏
Thanks very much for your comment. happy to know my videos are of some help. All the best!
Brilliant. And thank you for showing us. I have subscribed to your channel. For more information. Really enjoyed that.
Thanks for your comment . Hope I can help on your maintenance. All the best!

you earned a sub, kind sir. excellent content!
Thanks for your comment! Best regards
Thanks for this my friend
excellent. !!! 👍. Next time I will try to do it without moving the gas tank.
thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the tip, in the past I've always pulled the fuel tank back a little bit , but I guess I didn't need to do that after all. I do use the fiber air filters though, they are reusable after cleaning
Thanks for the comment. Never tried the fiber cloth air filter . But i guess If you don’t ride a lot off road and avoid thin dust, you should be fine with it.all the best! It saves a lot of money as Honda’s filter price is unjustifiable. all the best!
Thanks 👍
Mate, you are real hero, awesome editing. Awesome camera angles. well explained. Subbed. Will there be coolant change? I'm really looking foward for it.
Many thanks for your comment. Glad to know my tutorial was of some use . Hope it makes your servicing a bit easier. After my next trip, I’ll probably change the coolant and the brake fluids. Perhaps check valve adjustments too, which is part of the 24000km service, eventhough probably not neeeded. All the best!
Thanks for your explanations. Have you ever considered using cleanable and reusable K&N filters?
Regards
Manuel
Thanks for your comment . For off road use it’s not advised to use cleanable filters as they are not as effective at holding tiny dust particles. If your riding is mostly on road , it could be an option . Best regards!
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Thanks for your comment. all the best!
I have friend.... Ride on motorcycle to deep Russia in winter and Canada also alaska maximum low temperature is minus 60 Celsius told me one thing's all iphone on that temperature is off in 5 seconds question is how's is new motorcycle on this temperature

Gracias por tu comentario! Saludos !
great video thanx!
Thanks for your comment ! all the best.
Any suggestion for air temperature sensor transfer somewhere else ? Great videos, thanks for sharing!
The air temperature sensor is located above the radiator lid. do you mean placing it somewhere else or repair it?
@@MrLuk78 placing it somewhere else , eliminating wrong indicator , because of radiator heat.
Got it. Never watched a video on this. maybe because it is not the most advisable thing to do.
If your sensor is behaving erratically, have you tried flushing and cleaning your cooling system before trying to move the sensor somewhere else? . Not sure , but I think moving it might impact to maintain the engine temperature at the required levels ,thus possibly causing some sort of damage and impacting on fuel consumption.
You can do some checks on the sensor using a voltimeter to check whether is the real issue. Hope it helps!
Great video I have a 2022 africa twin std L I don't have to remove my crash bars to access air box
Thanks for the tip. I prefer to remove it because it allows more space for cleaning the air box. But you’re right. best regard!
An odd but understandable sort of design wish, check out a Kenworth W900. Note the dual air breathers on the OUTSIDE? By the cab doors? Lol would be interesting design aesthetic if bikes had that feature. Would look kind of cool.
The airfilter difficulty of access is a drawback of the Africa Twin. I pretty much understand the air intake being located at the top as it is more efficient and avoids dirt from
wheels etc. But they should have made the removal a bit easier. If you have the crash guards it takes at least 30 minutes to disassemble and assemble. Best regards!
Дружище, подскажи пожаруйста, момент затяжки болта крепления ведущей звезды. У россиян не могу добиться ответа. Спасибо.
Translation may not be good. If you mean the front sprocket bolt (drive sprocket) the torque is 54Nm. The rear sprocket (driven sprocket ) is 100
Огромное спасибо, ты выручил меня.
Удачи на дорогах и в личной жизни.
こんにちは。NT1100に乗ってます。 左側後ろのオイルドレンホースはどのくらいでたまりましたか？私のNT、4000 km くらいでオーバーフローしてエアクリーナーボックスからのオイル漏れ悩んでます。
In the oil drain it accumulates condensed oil from the engine. It's pretty normal to have some oil in the airbox, which descends to the drains. The AT and NT engines are quite oil efficient compared to other engines. It consumes no more tha 200ml every 10000km. Never had a a bike so efficient in this respect. Hope it helps.

詳しく解説して頂きありがとう御座います参考になりましたし、安心しました。
Change spark plug without removing tank
Unscrew the 2 screws of the filter. Pull a little bit out the filter on the side of the filterscrews. This allows you to get space to pull out the filterbox. I have sacrificed and bended one screwdriver
thanks for the extra tip. I’ll try it next time . In order to do with a screwdriver, it needs to be a long one and strong so that you can use as leverage. You just place at the bottom, close to the pins, and pull outwards at the same time you pull the box cover. It works fine and very straightforward once you get it right. But this airbox is ideed a pain to remove at the first time. I suppose you have to find your own way to make it work. All the best!
Also have 1100 ATAS and find it so stupid to dismantle half of the bike because of just changing air filters 🙈
It's a pain in the backside. but you get used to it, specially because of the pros of the AT.
Agree with you.
More easy tham CRF 1000 L...🤓👍✌
Thanks for your comment!
brasileiro?
Olá, tudo bem? sou sim! vc é de onde?
Me chamo Filipe. Sou de SC.
Organizamos o encontro nacional das At. Ano que vem é em jaragua.
Prazer Filipe. Sou de SP. quando ocorrer o encontro, dá um toque por aqui que dou um pulo por lá. grande abs!
também tava nessa dúvida! hehe inglês muito bom, mas tem o sotaque brazuca!
What a pain in the ass of a job especially haveing to remove crash bars and radiator guards ? Surely the japanese can make this more simple
Definitely one of the cons of the AT. but you get used to. best regards
ya, after a long day of riding offload...what a joke...no thanx...anyone that actually rides proper off road trips etc....what a pain in the ass! Honda is losing sales because of this...I love how these guys have to fast forward their clips because it takes so freaking long...
i doubt they will lose sales because of an air filter. A hassle yes, but will it affect sales? not really. You change them every 15k miles, not like its a daily or monthly thing.
