Never check with Yamaha, thought a lot of guys have the box and filter off their bikes. Probably one of the first things some guys remove.
However, where I ride, I need one. stock filter is fine with me too, as long as its new, prefer the box to be new as well.
Also, if anyone has a new puller they bought and dont need as well as a flywheel tool that inserts into the flywheel slots.
The puller is no big deal. They are so cheap new. Just thought Id ask a member first
feel free to PM me, thanks!
