I have heard that fitting the air filter to a V35/V50 is not an easy task.
Is it possible to fit it without lifting the frame and could I put together a piece at a time on the bike?
The carbs are not yet fitted.
If itâs the same as my V50 Monza, it can be done with the tank off. Fiddly but possible.

Try removing the battery and coming at it from the rear. You may need to do it piecemeal as you thought

Thereâs still lots to put on the bike so that might make it easier 
Agree with Mr P. Personally when i do them i remove rear wheel, remove inner mudguard and battery. Sounds long winded but believe me it saves busted knuckles, broken Oil pressure switch and a lot of swearing!!!
Also do it before you fit the carbs.

Cheers, I was thinking of fitting them but not anymore. No battery so half the prep done!
Trying to reassemble the airbox. It came with a very grubby cylindrical filter but when I bought one it was conical. I canât get it to fit together. It wasnât fitted to the bike when I bought it. Is it me or should I have a cylindrical filter?
My memory says conical is correct.

Thanks. It is, of course, me!
Iâll take a few pics of How Iâm trying to assemble it when I can.
I put K&Ns on my v50III.

To add my twopenneth, and Been away from here for a while, so you may have done it all by now?
I put the front two parts together, air filter section and the concentric crankcase breather bit and hold together with a nut on the threaded bit⌠battery and one Carb (RH I think from memory) off⌠it will wiggle in but care re wire on oil pressure switch. Clip oil mist pipe into rear rubbery inlet manifold 3rd section and wiggle this into its circular home at the top of the rear of concentric middle section, then push the two together. The metal plate (again memory) has a pressed notch which aligns with a recess in the adjacent plastic bit.

In yr last pic, that semicircular cut out the metal bit goes at the top and is where the oil mist pipe fits in.

Yes. The only thing is I canât get it to do is get the metal piece in front of the vent for the head to sit insidethe filter housing. It just wobbles about.
Iâve pretty much given up as Iâm still awaiting my friend to do all the wiring. Nothing has happened for months.
Yes⌠Iâve just revisited the pictures I took when I first dismantled back in Dec 21, to follow. The metal âbulkheadâ is handed⌠see pic to follow.
