My bottom cowl is so difficult to remove. The reason is the baffle material at the front of the air filter box. Putting the cowl on is not so bad because the baffle material bends that way. But because of the shape of the material it does not bend of give much taking off the cowl.
It takes a lot of pulling down on the cowl, which in turn pulls down on the filter box and then the carb. I just don't like how much pressure on these components it takes to remove the cowl.
I'm thinking of making a 1/2 inch slit in the baffle material at the positions shown below.
Has anyone done this?
Is it advisable or not?
Thanks,
