Parts break down shows seal above and below air cleaner in air box lower one doesn't want to stay in place long enough to get filter in place

There should only be one between the upper and lower half of air box. I lay it in the groove on the bottom half then put top on. Don't see any other way,it does come out sometimes but hasn't been a problem to get in.

I got new ones. Top one fits good bottom one won't stay in place. I'll just use some stickem to hold in place

A little grease will hold it down.  If someone had a K&N air filter on the bike, the seal may be missing.  Don't think the K&N's needed the seal, at least the K&N I removed.

Use some grip cement to tack difficult areas.  :roll:
