1998 Yamaha Big Bear 4x2 Air Cleaner

[Nigel Bourn]

I’ve just bought one of these and came here looking for a service manual

Mine has an air cleaner that I don’t seem to be able to find, it has round ends with square tabs on them, any ideas?

 

[Frank Angerano]

I’m confused.  What are you looking for exactly?

[Nigel Bourn]

Mine looks a bit like this, but most listed for 98 models are just foam

This also looks like it might fit, mine has a metal screen with a foam surround and whatever foam gasket used to be there between the filter and the filter box has basically disappeared. The bike has not been well maintained :-(

[Frank Angerano]

They both should fit.  I just looked on amazon and there are a few.

Thanks, now to just get up to 10 useful posts so I can download the service manual, or is there a shortcut for that?

Cheers

Only shortcut is to be a paid member. You will get to 10 posts.  Just don’t do what other dummy’s do and start to post dumb stuff looking to get to 10.

No probs thanks Frank, appreciate the help
