Yesterday with some help from a friend I finally got around to replacing the air filter on my '13 S10. I bought the bike used in '18
with a smidge under 7K miles on the clock. It now has 16K+. I am pretty sure the P/O never replaced the air filter. I ordered the OEM air filter from my
go-to source, Motosport. While viewing the intake parts page it showed two rubber gaskets, an upper and a lower (#13, #14 in the exploded view)
that apparently attach to the OEM air filter:
I went ahead and ordered the two rubber gaskets and the OEM air filter.
Yesterday, being that this was the first time I ever lifted the tank and opened up the air box when I took out
the old air filter (which looked pretty good) I noticed that there was not the two rubber gasket. The old air
filter was an OEM type I believe.
I then referred to my Yammy '12/'13 S10 service manual and there is a mention of these two rubber gaskets
with "New" callouts:
Since these two rubber gaskets were not present I opted not to include them because I
had visions of something wacky happening with the air filter and/or the air box and then codes being thrown
or general Charlie Foxtrot types of scenarios.
What gives?
Anyone of you esteemed Gents have any thoughts?
