Follow the guidelines in your factory service manual when removing air box assembly from your motorcycle.
Following the Victory® service manual section Engine Removal & Installation, remove the stock Victory air box.
1- Locate and remove the Intake Air Temperature Sensor (IATS) from the stock Polaris Victory air box. Locate the new position for the IATS on the
bottom of the S&S air cleaner. Push the IATS in the lower air cleaner cover and turn 1/4 turn in either direction, make sure you feel it lock into
place. Inspect from the inside of the air cleaner to ensure that the barbs are locked into place. See Picture 1.
2- Using the stock Polaris Victory air box gasket (PN 5811908) and S&S supplied (Qty 4) M6 fasteners, assemble the lower air cleaner cover to the
throttle body using 243 Blue Loctite® on the treads. Torque the M6 fasteners to 72-96 inch pounds.
3- Position the S&S pre-formed air filter onto the lower air cleaner cover ensuring that it fits into the machined groove.
4- Install the top air cleaner cover on top of the filter ensuring that it fits into the machined groove.
5- Make sure that the filter is situated in the machined grooves on both the top and bottom air cleaner covers.
6- Using 243 Blue Loctite on the threads of the S&S supplied (Qty 3) M6 fasteners tighten down top air cleaner cover evenly until seated. Finish
torque the fasteners to 72-96 inch pounds. Now you’re ready for breather hose and barometric pressure hose routing.
7- Locate the S&S supplied 3/16” reinforced hose and clamps. Push one end of the hose on the 3/16” brass barb in the bottom air cleaner cover and
slide clamp up around the end of the hose. The other end of the hose is for the Barometric Pressure Sensor (MAP). Route the hose toward the
back of the engine over the top of the rear rocker cover.
8- Remove the MAP sensor from the stock Polaris Victory air box. Remove the orange rubber gasket from the MAP sensor. Slide the S&S supplied
clamp over the 3/16” rubber hose that leads to the air cleaner. Push the barbed end of the MAP sensor into the 3/16” rubber hose and slide clamp
up to the end of the hose around the barb. A small amount of lubricant may be applied to the barb on the MAP sensor to make installation
easier.
