Harhond60 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Oil / filter change...check. Flush & replace coolant...check. Go to replace K&N air filter. Off with the tank, pull air manifold and.... AYFKM?? Happened before I bought this '04 three years ago but I've done several 3-4 day rides since & can't believe the motor could breathe through this nest of s***! Note that this "nest" is comprised of all k&n material. Filter did it's job though, nothing got through to the intake side at all. Expected to find a corpse but after my best CSI, nothing. So many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer thtanner Posted July 21, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2017 This is why I check the air filter on used bikes when I bring them home; threads like this! At least the filter did it's job. Yikes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer HughJebolzak Posted July 21, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2017 I had mice build a nest out of foam from various parts of my FJR some years ago. Right on top of the main wiring harness at the CPU. Chewed all around it but never touched the exposed wires at all. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightduty Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Just bought an 03 last weekend and my filter was used as a nest as well... not even close to as bad as yours but the critter started to eat the filter element and store some nuts too.

Member Contributer zupatun Posted October 8, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted October 8, 2017 Mine once had about 4lb of dog food in there ...industrious mice had chewed a hole in the storage tote for the dog food...the air filter had an "interesting" odour to it...
