NOTE: Inventory all items listed above to confirm complete kit contents. If you are missing any items, please

the installation of your new xXx Big Air Kit assembly.

2. Remove the air silencer box under the tank.
3. Install jet kit according to the instructions in the jet kit package.

7. Install the stock rubber boot into your new Baron air filter backing plate with the supplied glue. Squeeze glue
liberally into sealing groove in stock rubber boot and allow the glue to set up for 10 to 20 minutes before
installing it into the groove on the new xXx backing plate.
8. Place the performance air filter on the backing plate being sure the filter seal sits into the groove. Place Blue
Locktite in the open ends of the (3) standoff threads and then place the black air filter mount plate in position
being sure it fits properly in the filter seal. Align the three standoff holes (Note the holes are not symmetrical so
you will need to rotate the filter plate until all (3) holes align). Thread the (3) 1/4-20 x 3/4" flathead bolts and
tighten.
9. Install the (2) supplied mounting arms onto the rear of the backing plate at the 10:00 & 2:00 positions using
the (3) supplied M5 screws. Use Blue Locktite® on the threads.
10. Install the threaded lower mount stud(M8x1.25x30) in the lower mount ear of the backing plate.
11. Install the assembly onto the engine, aligning the rubber boot with the lower airbox intake while aligning
the (2) mount arms with their mount points on the engine and the threaded stud with the rubber grommet
equipped mount sitting low between the cylinders. Us the stock boot clamp to compress the boot and the airbox,
use the (2) M6-1.0 x 12MM chrome button head bolts & chrome washers. The lower mount stud inserts into the
grommet and you will use an M8 Nylock nut and washer to attach.
12. Reinstall your fuel tank and you are ready to ride.
