INSTRUCTIONS:
FIRST STEP: See instructions for installation of included with BA-2440VS Needle/Jet Kit and perform the

complete installation.

NOTE: The V-Star 1100 is prone to excessive oil blow-by from the crankcase vent that extends from the front cylinder head
to the black airbox above the carbs. To prevent excess oil deposits from leaking down into the BAK filter assembly and
blowing out the filter, you must install the supplied oil vent tube and foam filter element into the airbox as follows prior to
installing the new BAK filter assembly.

Loosen the (8) screws and (1) frame bolt holding the top of the black plastic airbox and remove the top.

Our install guides provide a basic outline on the proper installation of our products. Further tuning and/or

fitment may be required. Barons bears no responsibility on installation costs associated with this product.
