Kawasaki GT550 G Series 1989 ? where is the air filter?
- Thread starter Robbo1200ADV
- Start date
Tried under the seat?
This looks like the air box, if that is any help.

If it isn`t accessed via side panels it must be under the seat I would presume

I owned and despatched one of these nearly 20 years ago... after 50,000 miles the bike just wears out. Carb Diaphragms, coil(s), CDI unit, lipped brake discs. Still, got to know the owner and staff at Chasbikes and then bough a Revere.
Sorry, doesn't help much

Thanks Mark ,.I looked under the seat and there is an air intake but not like the one I have bought,
Looks like I'll have to quote the chassis No to a Kawasaki dealer and get the right part,I know where it is its getting to it!! Cheers anyway chaps
Alas, my memory has faded... I think it slides in from the side and one the access cover screws might be a little recessed. However, the inlet rubbers bake hard, crack, leak and add to the lumpy running. The clutch cable has a daft routing and needs regular oiling. I could go on but I was so glad to see the back of it after 93000 miles...

better than my Suzuki GS850G then.
when water got in to the switch, you'd end up with a set of disco lights
the indicators, hi/low and horn all taking it in turns to flash and bleep - confusing the feck out of surrounding traffic
and leaving me thumping the left hand 'bar to try an get it to stop!
I had a bad experience with one of these as well. It turned out (when Kawasaki admitted it years later) that on one of the model upgrades (G6 to G7 ?) the new carbs were all set up wrong. Result... after 3000 miles of running weak the exhaust valves were all burnt and needed replacing. I traded it in shortly afterwards for a GT750.
